You are not supposed to put a 4 year old in the front seat...but over 45 lbs can probably do away with the booster..or is it 48 lbs?

Not if you want them to be safe.

The law varies by country/province/state. There's no way we can answer that without knowing what jurisdiction you live in.

If by any chance you are in Indiana, I believe the answer is no.

Nahh don't let children under 12 sit in the front even if you have a booster seat. Better to be safe then sorry

I dont suggest it because i just got a ticket for my 6 yr old sitting in the front seat with his booster seat. And hes well over 60 lbs. And if you have air bags in the front then definately NO!

No, booster seats should be in the backseat never in the front if you want them safe. Children under the age of 12 should never ride in the front seat! They are safest in the back buckled into a car seat.


mohd
no they cant because the air bags will prolly do a serious injury , but after 12 he or she can sit in the front seat without a booster seat....

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the law is 95lb in my state and a four year old is a destraction and no that is not safe


frankymartinez62
no!!!!! 13 and over only.........


loverr☮
probably not a good idea...

Not unless they are 152cm tall (5 feet US), they cannot sit in the front seat. In some places it's illegal, but in all places it's unsafe.
