However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, a child may ride in the front seat if:
- The child is 8 years old or older.
- The vehicle does not have a rear seat.
- The child is in a CRS that is properly installed in the front seat.
- The child is tall enough to reach the seat belt without using a booster seat.
- Using the rear seats will cause the child to sit in an unsafe position.
It is important to note that the Arizona Department of Transportation recommends that all children under the age of 13 years old ride in the rear seat of the vehicle, regardless of their age or height.
