A one-year-old child is below the manufacturer’s rear-facing height and weight limits. In an ordinary passenger car with no medical exception, how must the child be restrained?
Correct answer: In a rear-facing car seat, because the child is under 2.
Why
Maryland requires a child under 2 to use a rear-facing child safety seat until reaching the seat manufacturer’s height or weight limit for rear-facing use. Follow the seat instructions and secure it properly. The broader child-restraint rule applies to children under 8 unless they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall; the stated scenario has no medical exception.
