  1. In Iowa, a 5-year-old rides in a 2020 passenger car with a suitable child restraint available. No exemption applies. Which restraint is required?

    Correct answer: An approved child restraint used according to its instructions.

    Correct answer: A seat belt or an appropriate approved child restraint.

    Iowa’s age 6-through-17 restraint requirement includes rear seats. The passenger’s age matters even when the driver is an adult.
