It varies by state, but typically children over a certain age, like 18 or 13, are allowed to travel in the back seat without a seatbelt in some areas. However, it is always safest for everyone to wear a seatbelt regardless of age or seating position.

What is the law for kids to ride in the front seat of a car in Louisiana?

What is the law in Michigan for children riding in front seat?

A child must be 11 and above to sit in the front seat. Any child under the weight of 75 lbs should be in the back seat. If you are under the age of eight you should be in the back seat with a booster seat. If your car does not have a back seat, then your child should still sit in the front but still with a booster seat. You should also get your air-bag de-activated if you need a child to sit in the front that is under the age of 11. However, you should read your car's owner's manual as well. Some vehicles automatically turn off the airbag AND seat belt tensioner if the weight in the seat is under 66 pounds. Therefore, the seat belt would not work in an accident and it would be unsafe to ever have a live person even with booster seat in the front if the total weight is under 66 lbs. This is just one example from our Mazda 3. Your vehicle may have a different weight limit and may or may not shut off the seat belt tensioner if the passenger's weight is under the specified limit.

It is recommended to follow these guidelines to ensure the child's safety while riding in a vehicle.
