Your child is 18 months old and has not reached the car seat's minimum weight for facing forward. Your car has a back seat. How must the car seat be installed?
Correct answer: Rear-facing, in the back seat of the car
Why
Rear-facing seats support a young child's head, neck and back in a crash. The center of the back seat is the safest place for a child seat. Children younger than eight must ride in a child safety seat or a booster seat, and you can have the installation checked at a child safety seat check in your area.
