In Nevada, a child under what age must be secured in a rear-facing child restraint system in the back seat?
-
A.
One
-
B.
Four
-
C.
Two Correct
-
D.
Six
The answer is "Two"
Nevada requires children under age two to ride in a rear-facing child restraint system in the back seat. A rear-facing seat supports a baby's head, neck, and spine in a crash. The age-two threshold is written directly into the Buckle Up chapter of the manual.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. One
The rear-facing requirement runs through the second birthday, not the first. Older national guidance capped rear-facing seating at the first birthday, and that outdated rule of thumb still gets picked. This answer recalls the older age-one rear-facing guideline instead of Nevada's current age-two threshold.
B. Four
Age four is not Nevada's rear-facing threshold; the rear-facing back-seat requirement applies to children under two. This answer splits the difference between Nevada's under-two rear-facing rule and its under-six general child-restraint rule to guess a midpoint.
D. Six
Age six appears in Nevada's general child-restraint rule, but the rear-facing back-seat rule applies only to children under age two. The broader under-six restraint rule gets remembered as the rear-facing rule. This answer reaches for the more visible under-six restraint figure that headlines the Buckle Up section, not the separate infant provision buried below it.
