Minors can't legally enter into contracts in their own right, so it would be difficult for a child under the age of 18 to buy a car. That doesn't stop them from being given one as a gift, though. If parents want to buy their newborn child a car, there's nothing legally stopping them from doing so, even though the child won't be able to drive it for 15 years or so (and then only under very limited conditions).
