You drive your 18-month-old daughter to day care. She has not reached the height or weight limit of her rear-facing car seat. How must she ride?
Correct answer: In the rear-facing seat in a rear seat, until she is too tall or heavy for it.
Why
A rear-facing seat spreads crash forces across the child's back and supports the head and neck. A front air bag can hit the back of a rear-facing seat with great force, which is why the seat must never be in front of an air bag. Read the vehicle owner's manual and the seat instructions to install the seat correctly.
