New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road safety

When may a child aged between 4 and 7 sit in the front seat of a car with two or more rows?

The answer

  • Only on trips shorter than 20 minutes
  • Never, under any circumstances
  • Any time, in an approved restraint
  • Only when all the available back seats are occupied by other children under 7 Correct

Why that's the answer

A child aged 4 to 7 must not sit in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows unless the available back seats are already occupied by other children under 7. They must still use an approved restraint suitable for their age and size.
