Children are required to be in a safety seat or booster seat to ensure their safety while traveling in a vehicle. The law mandates that children under the age of 4 must be placed in a safety seat, which is designed to provide the necessary protection and support for their smaller bodies. For children ages 4 to 5, they can either remain in a safety seat or transition to a booster seat, depending on their size and weight. This graduated system helps to accommodate children as they grow, ensuring they are properly secured according to their developmental needs and the safety standards designed to offer maximum protection in the event of a collision. Adhering to these regulations is crucial for reducing the risk of injury in accidents, making option A the correct choice.
