 minors in front
can some of the french cohort confirm the law on putting kids in the front of a car? we got 2nd 2cv to transport all the crap and kids to Salabris next year, plan was to have 2 cars one with no seats in the rear as a load lugger, and its always usefull to separate the kids too so can i get a 6 yr old in the front...she is really cute the,gendarms will love her Sean

 Re: minors in front
I'm not 100% sure but I think a child has to be 10 or over to be in the front seat in France. Please do correct me if wrong

 Re: minors in front
Sean, I had no probs driving in France this summer with my daughter. She was in the front of the car the whole time. But then we were in my smart that time  - kind of the same as a 2cv with the rear bench taken out ? Sure it will be fine for you next year...

 Re: minors in front
There is a lot of contradictory information around the net, but I found this on the AA website which should be of some help http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/to ... monaco.pdf

 Re: minors in front
sort of relevant, if you have a child in the front of a van its highly frowned upon in this country, however if the van has no rear seats, only front 3 then its ok, i geuss it would be the same, if theres no other seats, then where can they sit, although im sure the french law would be slightly different...
