At what age can children ride in the front seat in Arizona?

Answer 1

I don't believe there is actually any LAW in AZ that says a child must be in the rear seat, just that they must be properly restrained in a car seat if they are under 5-years of age and in a seat belt if under 16. I always thought there was a weight law but apparently not. The actual statute is:

ARS 28-907 (A) and (B)
A driver shall not operate a motor vehicle in Arizona when transporting a child who is under five years of age unless that child is properly secured in a child passenger restraint system. There is no weight limitation on this law. The child passenger restraint system used must be in conformance with the requirements established by Arizona law.

ARS 28-907 (G)
The following situations are exempt from this law: Motor vehicles originally manufactured without seat belts (prior to 1972), recreational vehicles, public transportation, buses, school bus, transporting a child in an emergency to obtain medical care, or the situation where there is not enough room in the vehicle to put in child restraint systems for all the children in the vehicle. In the latter case, at least one child must be in a proper restraint system.

Answer 2

I think they recommend 12 but I am not sure that is a law
