Different states have different regulations when it comes to how long children should ride in booster seats. Typically the average size and age is 4'9" tall and/or 8 to 10 years old. Check with your states guidelines to make sure your state's regulations are the same.
You can sit in the front seat at any age, however children must use booster seats until they are 12 or 135cm tall (whichever comes first). Rear facing booster seats should never be used in the front seat.The back seats are much safer so should always be used when possible.

40-80 pounds as one of the nation's most important child passenger safety priorities. However, the majority of America's 20 million children who should be riding in booster seats are not, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)Chairman Charley Smith.
After the first automobile was manufactured and put on the market in the early 1900s, many modifications and adjustments have been implemented to protect those that drive and ride in these vehicles. Most restraints were put into place to protect adults without regard for children, infant through pre-school age. Though child seats were beginning to be manufactured in the early 1930s, their purpose was not the safety of children. The purpose was to act as booster seats to bring the child to a height easier for the driving parent to see them. It wasn't until 1962 that seats were invented with the purpose of protecting a child, by Leonard Rivkin, of Denver Colorado.[
All children under the age of 12 will have to use some form of child car seat, unless they are taller than 135cm (4ft 5in).
