• Sitting with their back against the seat back and the seat back in an upright position.

OCS estimates that:
• The front passenger seat is unoccupied
or has very light objects in it.
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a
rear-facing child restraint.
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a
child, including a child seated in a
forward-facing child restraint or booster
seat.
• The front passenger seat is occupied by a small passenger, including a child or small
adult.
• The front passenger is not properly seated or his or her weight is taken off of the seat
for a period of time.
