How old were you when...

Your parents let you sit in the front seat?  My mother would not let me sit in the front seat of her car until I was practically old enough to drive.  I remember going places with her and I'd be embarrassed that the neighborhood kids would see me in the back seat when I was about 13 I would duck down so no one would see me until we were out of the neighborhood. 
My father on the other hand didn't care so I'd always sit in the front when I drove with him.

It would have to be when I was very young. I cannot remember this being an issue.

We didn't have the weight/height guidelines for riding in the front seat like they do now.  If it was just mom and me or dad and me, I rode in the front seat.

I grew up in the 60's....we just rolled around in the car and rode in the back of pickup trucks....

I have a couple of sisters so we all sat in the back and my parents up front.  If we went somewhere with just one parent then whomever "called it" got to sit up front.

I got to sit in the front seat as long as I can remember if there wasn't two adults in the car

I would only ride in the  front seat if her and me went somewhere, I had 5 other siblings.

I didn't want to sit in the front seat for a long time actually, so it was more of a choice. I could stretch out in the back seat and liked that a lot more. I would tease my parents about being my chauffeurs.

I honestly can't remember when I started sitting in the front seat but I would have to imagine I was a teenager, maybe 13 yrs old. My 11 year old still sits in the back by his choice..lol

I don't remember. When I was a kid it wasn't an issue.

I grew up when you were able to sit anywhere you wanted to

My kids seemed their feelings were hurt if one wasn't in the front seat, not like now-a-day. Then I got the van where it was fun and safe in the back seat so I didn't have that problem.
My parents, if nobody was seating at the front seat than I was able to because dad said I got to get tough for life, they knew the back seat was the safest back-in-then-days too.

Oh, I was born in the 70's, so there were times when we were on long road trips and I would have to sit in between my parents (in our Oldsmobile with bench seats). Three kids, only one car seat between all of us. And it was vinyl/metal, lol.

I grew up in a time where there were no rules and regulations about where children sat in a car.  We didn't even have seat belts, and piling into the back of a pickup truck was the best way to haul a bunch of kids to their favorite activity. I do understand why safety should prevail, but I don't personally know of any peers who came to harm from having less stringent safety rules.

I think I was around 10. I was a pretty big kid, so it wasn't a huge issue
