Many places don't allow younger children to ride in the front because of the air bags. A child's head and neck can't take the sudden force of the airbag inflation and it can actually result in a dislodged brain in a youngster. Most new car manuals these days have a lengthy warning about it (although I highly doubt most people even bother to read the car manual anyway).
Tragic story about the young child, though. I hate hearing stories like that.
