Legal minimum age of a front seat passenger

Question

Please could you advise me on the legal minimum age of a front seat passenger?

Answer

There is no age restriction for front seat passengers. If any reference is made to children the NRTA under Regulation 213 - Seatbelts states that children even under the age of 3 yrs must either use a child restraint ( not compulsory )if this is not available then the seatbelt must be used.
