i think they should be able to drive at 11 years and older if they can drive and if the can reach the gas and see over the dash bored
Yes, it is legal for an 11 year old to ride in the front passenger seat in Texas. However, it is recommended that children under the age of 13 ride in the back seat for safety reasons.
A 9 year old child can ride in the front seat of a car. It is important that they are buckled in and can sit still.
In Minnesota, children under the age of 13 are generally recommended to ride in the back seat for safety reasons, but there is no specific law prohibiting an 11-year-old from sitting in the front seat. However, if the child is riding in the front, they must be properly secured in a seatbelt or a booster seat, depending on their size and weight. Always prioritize safety by ensuring that the front passenger airbag is not a risk for smaller children.

If you consult the buckleupnc.org website, the recommendation is to keep your child in the back seat as long as possible. Children under 5 should always be in the backseat...but then it gets a little fuzzy. The recommendation is that children 1-12 should sit in rear seats whenever possible. My understanding is that once your child is age 12, they are usually tall enough to withstand the effect of an airbag deploying at 150-200 mph. FYI, over half the deaths caused by airbag deployment have been in children sitting in the front passenger seat.
