GOOD QUESTION! APPRECIATE IT! I AM BLESSED WITH TWO KIDS. MY SON HE IS OF 4 NOW WAS VERY INTERESTED IN OCCUPYING FRONT SEAT. I TOLD HIM, IF COMES IN THE FRONT DAD WILL BE COUGHT BY THE POLICE. THEREAFTER, NE NEVER TRIED TO DO SO. RECENTLY I ASKED HIM, DO YOU WANT TO SIT IN THE FRONT ? HE REPLIED "NO... POLICE WILL CATCH YOU DAD"?

If you drive with a child in the front seat you don't deserve to have children.

The fine whatever it is, is not enough.

If you're going to do it, go ahead and whilst you're at it have the window open fully to allow them a better chance to die, you imbocile.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

Thankfully there is.

What a stupid thing to do. Unless of course you want your child to die, in which case I guess it's recommended.

The driver using or holding a mobile phone or any other device in hand while driving or becoming busy watching any visual object from television set in the vehicle or allowing the children less than 10 years of age to occupy the front seat while driving the vehicle on the road.

Penalty QR 500,--

Why would you want to endanger the childs life by putting in the front seat anyway. Even the seatbelt is dangerous for such a small child, actually the child belongs in strapped in a special kids seat in the back of the car.
