From Oregon.Gov: "Oregon law requires that:
* Children weighing less than 40 pounds be restrained in a child safety seat. * A child under one year of age or weighing less than twenty pounds be restrained in a child seat, rear-facing. * Children over forty pounds but under age eight or less than 4' 9" tall be restrained in booster seats that elevate them so the lap/shoulder belts fit correctly. While it is not Oregon law, it is strongly recommended that children aged 12 and under ride in
rear seating positions. Research indicates that such rear seating reduces the risk of injury by
37 percent for that age group. For help with child safety seats, refer to the seat manufacturer's
instructions, vehicle owner's manual or call ACTS Oregon Child Safety Seat Resource Center
at 1-800-772-1315."
Children 12 and younger should sit in the back seat. So 13 and up for the front seat.
There is no minimum weight required by law for a child to sit in the front passenger seat in Oregon. It is strongly recommended that the child be at least 12 years old before riding in the front. The air bags can cause serious injury to a child smaller than this. Currently laws are only in effect for children that need to ride in safety seats.
There is not an age to sit in the front seat the child just has to be 4 feet and 8 inches tall and weigh at least 85 pounds. At least in MA!
yes
50
about 13
In Minnesota, it is recommended but not required for children under 13 to sit in the back seat when possible. However, if a child must sit in the front seat, they should be properly restrained in a child safety seat or booster seat appropriate for their age and size.
In Georgia, a child has to weigh at least 40 pounds to sit in the front seat. If the child is under 8 years of age, he also must be restrained in a car or booster seat in order to ride in the front seat.
a child must weigh 60 pounds or more to sit in the front seat in Ohio
Children under 10 are forbidden to travel in the front seat.
Your child should be 10 to sit in the front :-)
Sure! But really you can sit in the front at 80 pounds.
