Explanation
When riding in a vehicle, small children must never be allowed to ride in someone's lap or standing on a seat. It is crucial to prioritize their safety by ensuring they are properly secured in a federally-approved child passenger restraint system or safety belt appropriate for their height and age. Allowing a child to ride in someone's lap or stand on a seat puts them at a higher risk of injury or ejection in the event of a crash or sudden stop.
