When can a child sit in the front seat?

she can. actaully, legally any time... but it's not over safe. keep her far back from the airbag. preferably set to the full back position on the seat. typically in most cars, the front seats are actaully better protected than the back ones, so if you keep her back from the airbag, she's actually safer there than in the back.

You don't give your country or state in which you are in. This is a nascence on an international site as people spend time answering questions about things in countries that are irrelevant.

If you want driving Information for Australia most of the states follow the rules in some way of the major states of New South Wales or Victoria.

These should give some intelligent leads even if you don't live in Australia.

State laws vary.. in California I believe it is 6 years old or 60 lbs. to be out of a car seat or in the front.

If height were an issue there would be a LOT of people riding around in those things (grin).

12 years of age and 4 feet 9 inches tall.

4'9'' tall weight has nothing to do with it. It is how tall the child is.

NJ is 8yrs old or 80lbs.

Hell, let her drive. What does it really matter anymore.
