Answer: A: When a young child rides in a motor vehicle, the child must use a child seat shaped to suit the child's stage of development
Explanation
The Rules of the Road say to use a child seat for children who cannot properly wear a seatbelt, and then add: "In particular, when a young child rides in a motor vehicle, you must have the child use a child seat shaped to suit the child's stage of development." A child seat also has the effect of preventing interference with driving operations, exceptions are made for unavoidable reasons, and you are required to select one that fits the child's physique.
