At what age are kids allowd to start riding in the front seat?

I live in Illinois and I’m not sure if there’s an actual law about this. My daughter is 8 but she is very tall for her age. Since her legs are so long it would be comfortable for her to ride in the front seat of my car but at the same time I don’t want to be pulled over or put her in danger.

Legally they can ride in the front after age 8 however it is nationally recommended that all children age 12 and under ride in the back seat…………..
