I live in Illinois and I have a two seat car and a 6.5 year old who really wants to ride along. If the passenger side airbag is disabled, is it legal/safe(r) for him to ride in the passenger seat in his usual booster seat, as there is no rear seat option for him?

here is a site....

where you can find the Adult Safety Belt and Child Restraint Laws by State . As to how safe it is, that needs to be up to you to determine what you are comfortable with. Riding in the front seat of a car drastically increases your chances of injury or death in an accident. I personally would only do it VERY occasionally at most.

I figure it's about the same as riding in a pickup. Not the safest, but it's a parental call. Our only vehicle for about a year was an old full size Chevy truck. It wasn't my first choice, and I was happy when we got a 4 door car. I was always hyper careful to have him buckled in right and have the carseat installed right.
