You will drive your 18-month-old daughter to a family visit. Which car seat setup does Washington law require for her?
Correct answer: A rear-facing car seat, until she outgrows its height or weight limit
Why
Washington sets the car seat stages by age and size: rear-facing to age 2, a forward-facing seat with a harness to age 4, and then a booster seat until the adult belt fits. The guide tells you to keep a child in each stage as long as the seat allows, because that stage gives the best protection. Install the seat as the vehicle and seat makers instruct, and ask a certified child passenger safety technician to check it if you are not sure.
