A ten-year-old uses a properly fitted safety belt in an ordinary car. A rear seat is available and is not occupied by another child. Where must the child sit under Michigan’s rule?
Correct answer: In the rear seat.
Why
A child who has reached age eight or 4 feet 9 inches but is still under 13 must use a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt and sit in a rear seat if the vehicle has one. The specified exception permits front seating when all available rear seats are occupied by children. Continued suitable booster use is permitted within its manufacturer limits.
