Children Riding in car Laws

TYEster · 06-03-2009, 09:41 PM

Ok so Lori and I were having a debate a few days back about the legalities of children riding in cars after my mom commented how I have a lack of "children space" in my new car.

SHE SAID - It was illegal for children under 12 years old to ride in 2-seater cars with airbags.
HE SAID - WTF are you high?

Is this legit? Do they have to be of age to ride in the car? At the very least out of a car seat? Doesn't the fact that the car only comes with 2 seats override any "children in the frontseat" law? Not that it's absolutely imperative we get it straightened out, but I'd like to know so I can know who wins the argument.
