Back on Sunday August 2, 2020, Lynn Johnston had made a big deal about redrawing the comic strip for the reprint so that April would not be seated in front. Not so today. Possibly Elly is so self-absorbed in her thought balloons she forgot to remind Lynn to redraw it. The modern recommendation by the Canadian Division of Injury Prevention is to keep the kids in the back seat until they are over 12.
In the United States, 28 states in the US do not have a law on the books dictating a minimum age for kids to be able to sit in the front seat of a car. The recommendation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is 13 years of age, but there is no national law.
