My kid is 9 years old. I think in my jurisdiction (Ontario) the official rule, weirdly, is that kids are *strongly encouraged* to sit in the back seat, but not required to do so. I'd love to have my kid in the front with me - it'd make care rides so much more fun for both of us. I want to think out the risks on this: Are there sources on relative risk of front seat vs back? Ways to think about this risk/reward choice?

Note that the front airbag is disabled, which I gather contributes to the risk
