In the State of California there are no laws for an eleven year old riding in the front seat. Instead the state only offers a prevention tip: A child should be at least 12yrs of age before they ride in the front seat of a car. Studies have shown that children younger than 12 are not able to handle the impact caused by a frontal crash. There is less impact to the child if they are in the back seat. The only laws regarding child car safety are: * an infant weighing 20lbs or less must be in a rear facing car seat * an infant wieghing 20-40lbs must be in a forward facing car seat * preschoolers must be in a booster seat until they are 6yrs old or 60lbs.

Actually, in California it's:Children must ride properly buckled up, in the back seat, in a safety seat or booster until they are at least 6 years old OR weigh at least 40 lbs.Main exceptions:- A child under age 6 who weighs over 40 lbs. may wear a lap-only belt in the back seat if the vehicle has no shoulder belts in the back seat.- A child under age 6 who weighs less than 60 lbs. may ride in the front seat if there is no forwardfacing rear seat in the vehicle; the child restraint cannot be properly installed in a rear seat; all rear seats are occupied by other children under age 12; or for medical reasons. An infant (riding in a rear-facing child restraint or under one year or less than 20 lbs.) may not ride in front if there is anactive passenger air bag.So if the child is older than 6 or weighs more than 40 pounds, or meets one of the exceptions, they can ride in the front seat.

It is never okay for a child of any age to ride in the front seat if they weigh under 60lbs. It is extremely dangerous. If you were to get in a car accident the speed of the airbag is around 200 mph, and the force of that colliding with the child can lead to broken faces, ribs, whiplash, and even death.
