You will drive your 18-month-old nephew, who weighs 24 pounds, to day care. How must he ride?
Correct answer: In a rear-facing car seat in the back seat
Why
A rear-facing seat supports a small child's head, neck and back in a crash. The manual advises that you keep a child rear-facing as long as possible, up to the limit of the car seat maker. The driver must make sure that every child is properly restrained.
