Are children under 12 allowed to sit in the front seat?

It depends on the country and state/province you are in.

In most places, children under a certain age are NOT allowed to sit in the front seat. This is because they are more vulnerable to serious injury in a crash if they are sitting in the front seat.

Here's what you should do:

1. Check your local laws: The best way to know for sure is to check the laws in your specific location. You can usually find this information online or by contacting your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

2. Follow the car manufacturer's recommendations: Your car's manual may have specific recommendations for child passenger safety.

3. Use age-appropriate car seats and booster seats: Even if a child is old enough to sit in the front seat, it's always safest to keep them in the back seat in an appropriate car seat or booster seat until they meet the height and weight requirements for their state.

Remember, child safety is the top priority! Always err on the side of caution and keep children under 12 in the back seat unless specifically allowed by law.
