Seat Belt Violations: Child Saftey Laws

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Ohio

My daughter told me last night when I picked her up from daycare that "Dad is so cool because he lets me ride in the front seat because there is too much stuff in the back seat." She is 6 years old and 53lbs. I am sure he still uses the booster in the front seat.

I have been doing some research about this, because I was under the impression that kids were not allowed to sit in the front seat period if a back seat is available. But I can't find a specific law that would prohibit this or considers it an offense. I just find recommendations by the CDC and tons of blogs with opinions, but no stated laws. Does having too much junk in the back deem it to be unavailable? Also, does this vary state to state or county to county? For instance, he has indicated they would be going camping in SC this summer. I am worried she will be in the front seat while traveling thru all those states between if the camping gear is taking up the room in the back.

Things are finally starting to even out between us, but I would like to let him know how unsafe it is and if there is a specific law that he is breaking, he is more apt to listen to me. If I don't have any evidence, he will keep her in the front seat from now on even if the back was pristine just to spite me, so it is a fine and delicate line I have to walk.

Thank you for your time.
