How old must a child be to ride in the front seat in Michigan?

In Michigan, children must be at least 4 years old to ride in the front seat of a vehicle, provided they are secured in a properly installed child safety seat or booster seat. However, the safest practice is to keep children in the back seat until they are 13 years old, as it reduces the risk of injury in a crash. Always ensure that the vehicle's airbags are disabled if a child is riding in the front seat.
