    In France children under 10 years of age are not allowed to travel in the front seat unless there is an airbag fitted. In the rear seats all children under 10 must be in the right restraint if their weight is between 9 and 15kg.

    I have extracted the relevant part

    "Vous devez également savoir qu’il est interdit de
    transporter des enfants de moins de 10 ans aux places
    avant de tous les véhicules, sauf si l’enfant est installé
    dos à la route dans un siège prévu à cet usage, ou s’il y
    a impossibilité de procéder autrement"

    and the translation is:

    It is forbidden to carry children under 10 years old in a front seat of any vehicule except if the children is in a rearward facing seat in the appropriate child restrainer or if there is no other way around.
