The Shaykh:
This is Ummamah bint al-Zubayr, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to carry her during the prayer while he was the imam. So it is permissible for her to be in the front row or the second row, but on the condition that her guardian protects her from causing harm. Yes.
