In Nevada, a child under what age must be secured in a rear-facing child restraint system in the back seat?

  1. A.
    One
  2. B.
    Four
  3. C.
    Two Correct
  4. D.
    Six
The Why

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.

Why the others miss

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 Older national guidance capped rear-facing seating at the first birthday, and that outdated rule of thumb still gets picked.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.
