How many pounds does a child have to beable not to sit in a child safety seat?
Depends on the state, here in Massachusetts: "Massachusetts state law requires that all children under age 8 and less than 57 inches tall be properly fastened and secured in a federally approved car seat or booster seat, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Children who have reached age 8 but who are not yet 4'9" tall are still affected by this law and should still be in an appropriate child restraint. Children who are old enough or tall enough to be out of a child restraint should use a vehicle seat belt."
Where should child restraint seats be used?

How old do you have to be to sit in the passenger seat in England?
It is not that simple. Any age can be carried in the front seat as follows: Up to 3 years old in an appropriate child restraint (not rear facing if there is an airbag fitted). From 3 to height 1.35 metres or under age 12 - 13 in an appropriate child restraint. Over 1.35 metres or at age 12 - 13 in an adult restraint. Up to the age of 14 the legal responsibility for the use of the appropriate restraint lies with the driver. At age 14 the legal responsibility for the use of the appropriate restraint lies is on the passenger. The full rules are at the links below.
What is the height and weight recommended for kids to sit in the front seat of a car in Connecticut?
**There is no law in Connecticut that states that kids must be in the rear seat.Connecticut child restraint laws state that1.) younger than 1 year or less than 20 pounds: must be in a rear-facing seat2.) 1-6 years old and less than 60 pounds: must be in a child-restraint system (includes booster seat)3.) 7-15 years old and more than 60 pounds: must be in an adult-restraint**That answer is for a child restraint.To sit in the front seat you must be atleast 13 years old . It is wise not to let a child ride in the front seat at all until the child is able to drive themselves around. The impact of an airbag alone can kill a child. But, it is relativly more safe at the age of 13.http://www.babycenter.com/404_when-can-my-child-safely-ride-in-the-front-seat-of-a-car_69792.bc
What is the legal age for a child to ride in the front seat in Arkansas?
In Arizona a child must be at least 5 years old to not require a child restraint, however, a child restraint need not be placed in the back seat. It is unsafe for a child of under 12 to ride in the front seat if there is an air bag.
What age do you have to be to seat in the front of a car in NJ?
It's not about how tall you are, this is from the NY State Ploice website. New York's Occupant Restraint laws require the following: Children up to the age of 4 must be properly restrained in a federally approved child safety seat that is attached to a vehicle by a seat belt or universal child restraint anchorage (LATCH) system. Children less than age 4 but weighing more than 40 pounds may be restrained in a booster seat with a lap/shoulder safety belt. Children ages 4, 5, 6 and 7 must be properly secured in an appropriate child restraint system, one for which the child meets the height and weight recommendations of the child restraint manufacturer.* An appropriate child restraint system is one that meets the child's size and weight recommended by the manufacturer. A vehicle's safety belt is NOT a child restraint system. Children riding in booster seats must be secured with a combination lap/shoulder seat belt, NEVER secure a child in a booster seat with only a lap belt. From the age of 8 until they reach their 16th birthday, children must be restrained in a seat belt when they ride in the back seat. Front seat passengers must be properly restrained at all times, regardless of age. Children 12 years and younger should ride in the back seat. By simply buckling up your child in the back seat reduces his/her risk of death by 33%. *It is recommended that booster seats be used until your child is 4 foot 9 inches tall or weighs 100 pounds.

Until a child is taller than 42" they are supposed to be in a car seat, no matter how old. It goes by height, not age.
