Yes that is the proper age
According to the NYS DMV website, a child CAN sit in the front seat of a car, but its not safe. Especially with airbags in the car. Even check out the website!
I don't know about Texas, but a child has to be 100 pounds to be in the front seat in NY. There is no sense in putting them there unless you are sure. They need to be protected.
(I think)
All children must be restrained in a child restraint system while riding in a motor vehicle in New York until they are 8. New York does not have a law preventing children from sitting in the front seat. They recommend that all children under 12 ride in the back seat.
yes
Yes. It is safe for them as they are in Kindergarden 2 already.
Not without a person over the age of 21 in the car with you (:
California Law requires all children who are 6 years of age or less and weigh less than 60 pounds to be transported in a Child Restraint System. Anyone older or weighs more than that is allowed to sit in front. Now I am only talking about California. I don't know globally. But IMO, what is good for CA is good federally. Thanks
NEVER! Air bags, if deployed, can kill a small child (or seriously injur them). Not a good idea until they are in the teens and tall enough to have their head touch the headrest of the car seat.

Effective March 27, 2005: all back seat passengers who are age four or older but under age seven must be restrained in an appropriate child restraint system. A child older than four years of age and over four feet nine inches in height may be restrained by a safety belt. It is not illegal under NYS law for a child passenger to ride in the front seat of a vehicle that has a passenger air bag, but it is dangerous. Recent studies show that air bags can cause serious or fatal injuries to infants, children or small adults that sit in the passenger-side front seat. It is also normally safer for a child of any age to ride in the back seat of any vehicle. For the best child passenger protection in your vehicle: * Never put a child safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle and face it toward the rear of a vehicle if that vehicle has a passenger-side air bag. * Do not put small children in the front seat of vehicle that has an air bag. Put a child that does not use a safety seat and who is less than five ft. in height in the back seat. * If a child must ride in the front seat, make sure the car seat is installed as far back as possible. Fasten the child securely in the child safety seat or seat belt. An air bag that opens suddenly can cause a serious injury to your infant or young child. * Air bags, used with seat belts, provide the best protection for older children and adults during an accident. * Remember that the back seat is the safest location for children to ride.
