When must you use a child safety seat?
Generally, it is recommended that parents should use a child safety seat for children 8 years old and below or until they can be properly restrained by the vehicle's seat belt. Infants (new born to 1 year old) should use rear-facing child safety seats, a child not above 4 years old and 40 pounds should be seated in a forward-facing child safety seat, while a booster seat is required until a child is 8 years old.
What type of car seat should be used by a 8 year old?

If you are concerned as to whether he is allowed legally to sit in the front seat you can test if his head reaches above the seat he SHOULD be allowed but to double on that you might want to check online in your country for a legal age :)
Is it safelegal to have a child placed in the middle seat of the front seats?
That depends on how old of a child. If the child is in a car seat or booster seat, then no. Studies and actual accidents have shown that children and infants can be beheaded in the front seat if airbags deploy. The child needs to be buckled in the back seat, center if possible.
What is the law in Michigan for children riding in front seat?
A child must be 11 and above to sit in the front seat. Any child under the weight of 75 lbs should be in the back seat. If you are under the age of eight you should be in the back seat with a booster seat. If your car does not have a back seat, then your child should still sit in the front but still with a booster seat. You should also get your air-bag de-activated if you need a child to sit in the front that is under the age of 11. However, you should read your car's owner's manual as well. Some vehicles automatically turn off the airbag AND seat belt tensioner if the weight in the seat is under 66 pounds. Therefore, the seat belt would not work in an accident and it would be unsafe to ever have a live person even with booster seat in the front if the total weight is under 66 lbs. This is just one example from our Mazda 3. Your vehicle may have a different weight limit and may or may not shut off the seat belt tensioner if the passenger's weight is under the specified limit.
