Does your small, young 7th grader ride in the front seat?

I think he likes it back there. It’s safer and he’s never complained about it or asked to sit in the front.
He’s taller than me and weighs more than I do.

This is so weird.

My 10 year old is 100 lbs and 5'1. He sits in the front sometimes but is used to sitting in the back so defaults there. I feel perfectly safe with him in the front.

13 is 2 years away from driving. I think the safety learned from observing the road in the front seat out weighs the potential danger of an airbag at that age.

Super odd to make your kid wait.

DCUM is not representative. They rear face until 5 and breastfeed until 3.

OP here, this is the opposite of what I've experienced on this website but my kids must be older than yours

PP is correct. As soon as they stop breastfeeding they are handed a phone and skimpy clothing. Anyone who questions any of this is a misogynist.
