Is a 9yo child legally allowed to ride in the front passenger seat of a private vehicle on a California public-school field trip when the child's parent is not in the vehicle?
Also, does your child's school have a policy about this?
I ask because I learned that my 9yo DS rode in the front passenger seat at the driver's direction on a recent field trip -- even though there was space for DS in the second or third row of the newer (about a year old) Suburban. DS is not allowed to ride in the front seat when my DH or I drive and I was surprised and angry that the field-trip driver put him in the front.
