I drive a 2009 Ford Fusion.
I will let her ride in the front seat before age 15. In our state kids can get learners' permits at age 15 and I want her to be familiar with the view from the front seat before she gets behind the wheel. I'll probably go with age 13 to ride in front.
This. Only Dh drives a 2009 Fusion and I drive a 2012 Pilot. In both cars the kids will ride in front before age 15. They can get their permits on their 15th birthday and we would like them to become familiar with traffic laws and the view from the front before then. It is also important to both Dh and I that they get their permits when they can so that we can make sure they get plenty of experience driving, especially in winter conditions, before they get their license.
