Why should children under the age of 13 ride in the back seat in Minnesota?
Children under the age of 13 are recommended to ride in the back seat due to the danger of airbag deployment in the front seat. Airbags, while protective for adults, deploy with significant force which can cause injury to younger children who are lighter and shorter. Thus, positioning them in the back seat provides a safer environment in the event of a collision or airbag deployment.
