when can you sit in the front seat Page 3

Ah, the front seat—where the real action is. In Australia, you can generally occupy the front passenger seat at any age, but it's a whole different ball game for child restraints. Kids under 4 years old must be in a proper child restraint, usually in the back seat. For those aged 4 to 7, booster seats are mandatory, and while they can technically sit up front, it's safer and often recommended they stay in the back. Airbags can be deadly for young children, so always check your state laws and vehicle manual. Safety first, thrills second.
