Your 1-year-old weighs 30 pounds and is 38 inches tall. How must the child ride?

• A.Forward-facing, because the child can sit up
• B.In the front seat facing forward
• C.On a booster seat in the back
• D.Rear-facing in a child safety seat

Why

The child is under 2 and below both the 40-pound and 40-inch limits, so a rear-facing seat is still required. Both limits matter before turning the seat around.
