What Would You Do : Car Parade

[KpbS]

YES! And my kids are in back until 13, at least, which is largely unheard of among their peers.

The world MUST be coming to an end ..... a 2nd unanimous decision on the BBB

Haha!

Glad to hear that everyone thinks this is ok. I was second guessing myself, but you all have confirmed my original thought of letting my son do this.

We just went through this. DH and I took a while to decide to let DS1 (newly 11) ride in front for the all-school parade at a state park. As it turned out, probably 3/4 or more of the kids of all ages were in the front seat, hanging out the windows, sticking out of the sunroof, hanging out in the back of a pickup truck, or otherwise unrestrained. Made me feel a little better about our decision.

I'm one of those "my kids RFed until 4+ and will probably be in booster seats until they're driving themselves" but I'd let him sit in the front too!

I was the last of my friends to turn my rear faced kids and the last to have a kid in a booster until they could 5 step, but I'd even let a K kid ride in the front for this situation.

OP, I'm assuming it's local streets, low speed limit (25mph or lower; in NJ, most residential areas have a 25mph speed limit), and your 11-year-old knows how to wear a seat belt properly, so, yes, by all means, let him sit in the front passenger seat.

I might, if I were really nervous, slid the seat as far back from the dash as I could to protect my child from an airbag deployment.
