Infant. An infant (less than 1 year old) must
ride in the front seat because:
•
my vehicle has no rear seat;
•
my vehicle has a rear seat too small to accommodate
a rear-facing infant seat; or
•
the infant has a medical condition which, according
to the infant's physician, makes it necessary for the
infant to ride in the front seat so that the driver can
constantly monitor the child's condition.
