Passing target: 80% (40/50)
You are driving your 18-month-old niece, who weighs 24 pounds, in a sedan with a back seat. How must she ride?
Three unselected restraint examples show a rear-facing infant seat, a forward-facing harness seat and a belt-positioning booster. The card gives the child’s age as 18 months and weight as 24 pounds.
Correct answer: In a rear-facing seat with a five-point harness, in the back seat.
Why
A rear-facing seat supports a very young child's head, neck and back in a crash, which is why the law requires it at this age and weight. The manual warns never to turn an infant seat to face forward. Check the label for the child sizes the seat is made for, and follow the seat's instructions every time you install it.
