Are dogs allowed in the front seat of a car?

Yes - legally dogs may ride in the front seat, but it is not necessarily the safest place for them to sit. If your dog does ride in the front, they must be restrained safely with a crash-tested harness or secured carrier. You should turn the passenger airbag off if your dog rides in a rear-facing position or is on the smaller side. Most owners opt for the back seat or car boot along with a proper restraint.
