You will drive a 6-year-old child who weighs 48 pounds. Your car has a back seat. How must the child ride?
Correct answer: In a booster seat or approved child seat in the back seat.
Why
New Mexico sets child restraint rules by age and weight, and every passenger under 18 must be properly restrained. Children 5 or 6 years old, and any child under 60 pounds, ride in a booster seat or child restraint; children under 1 ride rear-facing in the back seat. Keep children in the back seat, where a front air bag cannot strike them.
