How much do you have to weigh or how tall do you have to be to sit in the front seat that has airbags?

I live in BC Canada and I reakky want to sit in the front but I don't know the qualifications to sit in the front. Like how much do you have to weigh or how tall do you have to be....How much do you have to weigh or how tall do you have to be to sit in the front seat that has airbags?It definitely is not a height issue! Automatic airbags are based on weight and in most of the cars that I have test-driven were set to engage at 70-80 lbs depending on the brand.



The general rule of thumb according to the NHTSA is children under the age of 12 should be in the back seat which is just completely arbitrary and there isn't a standard weight for automatic airbags yet because they do not exist in every car on the road.



A small adult under 70 pounds should also not be in the front seat.How much do you have to weigh or how tall do you have to be to sit in the front seat that has airbags?100 poundsHow much do you have to weigh or how tall do you have to be to sit in the front seat that has airbags?well my sister is 4'5 and weights 65 lbs and sits in the front seat with an airbag if that helpsHow much do you have to weigh or how tall do you have to be to sit in the front seat that has airbags?4'9
