age to sit in front seat nc
According to North Carolina law, children less than age 5 and less than 40 pounds must be in the back seat in vehicles with active passenger-side front airbags. However, the recommendation is to keep kids in the back seat until they are 12 or 13. Rear-facing car seats cannot be installed in front of an active airbag. The child could be seriously injured or killed if there is a crash and the airbag deploys.
