For vehicle capacity purposes, how many seats does each minor (over 2 and under 12 years old) occupy in the rear of a car?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that they occupy one whole seat. Under current regulations, for the purpose of the vehicle's authorized seating capacity, each person counts as one full seat, regardless of age or size. Exceptions existed in the past, but it is currently prohibited to transport more people than the number of approved seats in the vehicle. Furthermore, each minor must have their own safety system (seat belt or CRS), which physically requires a full seat.
