Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: With a child restraint system suited to their size and weight.

In a child restraint system suited to their size and weight, like the child in the image. As a general rule, the child must ride in a rear seat and may ride in front only in specific cases, always using their restraint system. They must not ride in an adult's arms, because no one can hold on to them in a crash, even if the adult is wearing a seat belt.
