What height is appropriate to sit in the front seat in a car?

My Child wants to sit in the front seat of my car. So what is the appropriate height.

Friendly Stranger..

Well it depends on the age and the weight.

Basically here is what the law says regarding children being able to ride in the front seat.

Safety belts -
at age 8 and older or taller than 4'9". All children age 12 and under should ride in the back seat.

Basically a child must be taller than "4'9" and be above the age of 12.

Laws are not as important as what's safe. Pretty much if you're still calling him a 'child' he's too young. Kids under 13 belong in the back seat. Always.

Age 12 and over and 4 feet 9 inches tall.
