My husband also lets my 7 year old sit in the front seat of his car. We are in New Jesrsey. Is that legal?
Find answers to your legal question.

we are in disagreement. i thought the child had to be 11 years old before they can sit in the front. i really need to know what New Jersey law is on this matter.

amazingly intelligent

New Jersey's car seat law requires that children up to age 8 or 80 pounds ride in an appropriate car seat or child safety booster seat.

Additionally, New Jersey car seat law requires that children under age 8 ride in the rear seat of the vehicle, unless the vehicle has no rear seat. New Jersey also requires children age 8 to 18 to wear a seat belt, regardless of weight.
