With a booster cushion?
The child can be in the front seat no problem, but they must have a booster if they are less than 12 years, or less than 135cm tall
This is so the seat belt and air bag will work safely with the child.
Corey - you are wrong. Babies can be in the front seat and any age up, as long as the correct booster/seat is used. There is no 7 year olds rule.
There is a leaflet available in PDF - see link below |

Yes you are but if he is less than 1.35m tall he must use a booster seat |

No, he'll require a booster seat as this will ensure he's at the right height for the seatbelt to restrain him in the event of an accident.
If he's not on a booster seat, he could (and this is a horrid thought), slip under the belt.
Get it fitted professionally if you're not 100% certain, I think Halfords offers this service. |

I have a step-son who is also 8 yrs old.. and i didnt know he needed a booster seat, still at his age. So he got used to sit at the front without one. Now it's almost impossible to get him to sit in one ( he thinks it's for babies!).... so I told him to sit in the back... but he is so used to sit in the front (and me too), i sometime forget to tell him: No, go in the back....
Well, there are requirements for kids in the front seat. They have to be 12 years old and older, they have to weight i think 100lbs or more, and/or they have to be i think it's 140 cm tall. They have to wear the seatbelt properly (and not behind the shoulder like they always seem to like it !)...but then again... i am really not sure that all kids who still sit in the front meet those requirements...! |

NO. It is ILLEGAL for anyone under the age of 13 years to sit in the front with or without a booster cushion. |

If you drive in UK then yes, it is perfectly legal. |
