Where should a 12-year-old child be seated in a vehicle equipped with airbags?

It is unsafe for a child to sit in the front passenger seat, especially if the vehicle is equipped with an airbag. If the airbag deploys, it could seriously injure the child. State law requires all children under the age of 14 to be secured in the rear seat and to be wearing appropriate safety restraints while the vehicle is in motion.
