It is never okay for a child of any age to ride in the front seat if they weigh under 60lbs. It is extremely dangerous. If you were to get in a car accident the speed of the airbag is around 200 mph, and the force of that colliding with the child can lead to broken faces, ribs, whiplash, and even death.
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.
As of December 1, 2001, New Jersey's child passenger safety law requires: Children up to age 8 or 80 pounds must ride in a safety or booster seat in the rear seat of the vehicle. If there is no back seat, the child must sit in the front seat secured by a safety or booster seat. Children under age 8 who weigh more than 80 pounds must wear a seat belt anywhere in the vehicle. Passengers age 8 to 18 (regardless of weight) must wear a seat belt anywhere inside the vehicle.

It doesn't tend to be illegal (of course that varies by state/country) but in the event of a collision, the child would be much safer in the back seat than in the front. Under no circumstances should a child in a rear facing booster seat be placed in the front seat as if the airbags deploy, the child will probably be killed.
Weight and not size determines when they are able to ride in the front. One of the problems with front seats for a child is the front airbags. The airbags have hurt children because they are smaller and lighter in weight than an adult.
