Laura asked in Cars & TransportationSafety · 1 decade ago

Front seat passenger laws, when can a child ride in the front?

I am interested in European transport law as I will be travelling through Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France.

I know there are variations and exceptions to the law and would like as comprehensive an answer as possible.

Many thanks

Update:

Brilliant, thanks for that.. That rules out that option. I normally don't like children in the front AT ALL, but have to carry a full load of things with me to my parents' apartment in France. Since my 5 year old can't rid in the front, I will re-think that option.

Once again. Thank you for the links!
