ok i understand you must have someone 21 or older with a valid license, but i guess the part i dont understand is whats the difference between a permit and a junior license?

No matter what age you are, if you hold a learner permit, you may not drive:

Unless accompanied by a supervising driver at least age 21 who has a license valid for operating the vehicle you are driving. For example, only a person with a motorcycle license may supervise a motorcycle learner.

Once you become a "junior driver" you can have passengers, with these restrictions...

SPECIAL RULES FOR JUNIOR DRIVERS

You are a junior driver if you have a junior learner permit or junior driver license. As a junior driver:

A Class DJ license allows you to drive passenger cars and trucks with an unladen weight or a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 10,000 lbs. or less. A class DJ driver can drive a vehicle that tows another vehicle (for example a trailer) with a GVWR of 3,000 lbs. or less.
You may not drive with more than two passengers under the age of 21 unless they are members of your immediate family, or your accompanying driver is your licensed parent, guardian, person "in loco parentis," driver education teacher or driving school instructor.
You and each passenger must wear a seat belt: one per person. All children under age 4 must ride in federally-approved child safety seats, or if also over 40 pounds in weight use an appropriate child restraint system such as a booster seat. Children under age 7 must use an appropriate child restraint system. Children more than four feet nine inches tall are allowed to use a seat belt and shoulder harness.
The only passenger allowed in the front seat is your accompanying driver.

So, permit only, no. Junior license yes provided the 2 year old is in proper restraints and you have 2 or less passengers unless they are immediate family members.

A permit is just that...a learner's permit...it is NOT a driver's license so you are not permitted to drive without a licensed driver over the age of 18 or 21 in the vehicle with you during operation.

You are NOT a licensed driver and won't be until you get your driver's license.

Im pretty sure the only stipulation is there needs to be a licensed driver only the age of 21 and i believe there is a curfew. I do not think it is illegal to have a child in the car, but i do think its stupid.

If you have your permit, you must drive with a licensed NYS driver over the age of 21.
