yes because the airbag can kill them, or seriously injure them. If they are at least 12 or older, they can sit in the front (in my opnion)
back seat
In Tennessee, children under 12 years old should sit in the back seat, as it's safer for their size and weight. The front seat is typically reserved for children who are at least 13 years old.
Laws on age/weight requirements for front seat passengers vary by state. However, a general rule is that front seat passengers should be over the age of 12 and over 80 pounds. However, keep in mind that when driving with children, the back seat is always safer.

It is illegal to do so. Put the child in the back seat where they are much safer.
In Texas, a child must be at least 13 years old to legally sit in the front seat of a vehicle. However, it is recommended that children continue to ride in the back seat until they are 13 for safety reasons, as the back seat is generally safer for younger passengers. Always ensure that the child is properly restrained in a seatbelt or appropriate car seat.
In Iowa, children under 6 years old must be properly secured in a child restraint system in the back seat of a vehicle, unless the back seat is already occupied by other children under 6. It is recommended that children always ride in the back seat due to the risks associated with airbag deployment in the front seat.
In Maine, children under 12 years old are required to ride in the back seat of a vehicle when it is practical to do so. Children can only ride in the front seat if all back seats are occupied by other passengers under 12 years old or if the vehicle does not have a back seat.

In Minnesota, children under 13 must sit in the back seat unless the front passenger seat is the only seating position available or the back seats are already occupied by younger children in a child restraint system. It is recommended that children under 13 continue to sit in the back seat for safety.
Put the infant seat in the back seat of the car and not in the front. Children should ride properly restrained in the back seat whenever possible. Children are much safer (approximately 29 percent) the farther they are from the point of impact -- most commonly a frontal crash. The seat should be installed facing backward. I cannot think of a good reason for you to put the child in the front seat, unless possibly you have other children, and think this is the best route to go. If that is the case, then place the largest child in the front seat with the seat pulled back as far as possible. Put the infant in the rear.
