1.Car accidents are the No.l cause of death for kids in the United States,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC).So at what age should kids ride in the front seat?Parents need to pay more attention to kids'safety when it comes to riding in the car.The perfect age,according to the CDC,is 12.Kids younger than that should be buckled(扣住)up in the backseat,either in car seats or with the car's safety harness (安全带).The reason is that air bags in the front seat can kill smaller children.
A new law in Massachusetts takes things one step further.If it passes,the government would make it illegal for kids younger than 13 to sit up front.The penalty for breaking the law would be a $25 fine-not much,but some people think it's enough to draw awareness to this.Some argue that the law is just another form of big government overstepping its boundaries(界限).They point out the reasons why it may not always be possible to have all kids under 13 in the backseat.For instance,what if you're driving a truck that doesn't have a backseat?Or if you have many teenagers and need one of them to sit up front?However,some passenger safety organizations.such as SafetyBeltSafe U.S.A.,even advocate (主张)a greater limit when it comes to sitting up front,suggesting that children should continue to ride in the backseat until they are ready to drive themselves.
So when should your child be allowed to ride in the front seat of the car?That depends on two things:the laws in your state and your comfort level.While most states require that children sit in the back at least until age 12,some like Massachusetts have the age set closer to 13; while others,like Georgia,allow kids to sit in the front seat by age 8.Know your state's law before you make your decision.But also keep in mind what works best for you and your family.The backseat is the safest place for kids to ride,so it makes sense to keep them back there as long as possible before you let them ride up front.
