In California, a child must be at least 8 years old or at least 4 feet 9 inches tall to legally sit in the front seat of a vehicle with only two seats. However, it is recommended to always follow safety guidelines and have children sit in the back seat whenever possible to minimize the risk of injury in case of a car accident.

It depends on where you live, and how old the child is. For example if you lived in Canada then the child would have to be 10 and older, but in the United States I think it's 12 years old when a child can sit in the front seat, but many people obied that law. In some cases when the car only has 2 seats (two in the front) the parent or guardian has no choice but to let the child sit at the front.

Can you put a car seat in the front seat if the car is only a 2 seater no back seat?

Not unless you have a way to turn off the passenger side front airbags. Some pickup trucks have this feature (you use the key to turn the airbags off). If you cannot turn off/disable the airbags in your car, then you cannot put a car seat in the front seat. It would be very dangerous for the child!
