[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is 12 and sits in the back. He is about 5 foot 5 and is heavy. I have 3 older children and they all waited till 13 to sit in the front. [/quote] This doesn’t make sense to me. I’m 5’4” and I weigh 130 and I sit in the front seat. There are many kids - especially boys - who are taller/heavier than me way before 13. Why is it safe for me (and adults smaller than me) and not them? [/quote] Your bone and muscle are done developing...[/quote] This. Your bones and tendons and joints are developed enough to help protect you in an accident. A child's body is still developing and cannot offer the same protection that your body does. There are more ways to damage a growing body that will have a life time of repercussions. [/quote]
