What size does a child need to be ride in the front seat?

It's not about a child's size, but their age and weight.

The law dictates that children must ride in the back seat until they reach a certain age and weight:

* Most states require children under 13 to ride in the back seat.

* Many states also require children under a certain weight or height to use a car seat.

It's important to check your state's specific laws.

Here's why riding in the back seat is safer:

* Airbags: Front airbags are designed for adults and can be dangerous for children.

* Impact: Children are more vulnerable to injury in a crash in the front seat.

* Ejection: Children are more likely to be ejected from a vehicle in the front seat in a crash.

Always consult your car seat manual and follow your state's laws.
