Can your 10 year old sit in the front seat in VA?

In Virginia, a child who is at least 8 years old and weighs 80 pounds or more can sit in the front seat. However, it is generally recommended that children under 13 years old ride in the back seat for safety reasons. Always ensure that the child is properly restrained using a seatbelt or appropriate booster seat. It's important to check for any updates to laws or specific vehicle requirements.
