A baby in a car counts as overloading. The traffic regulations regarding overloading do not specify the height, weight, or age of passengers but only the number. The passenger capacity of a vehicle is not determined by the age or weight of the passengers but by the number of individuals. Below is more information about traffic regulations: 1. For a road passenger vehicle exceeding the rated passenger capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 yuan will be imposed; if the passenger capacity exceeds 20% of the rated capacity or if cargo is carried in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 yuan will be imposed. 2. For a freight motor vehicle exceeding the approved load capacity, a fine of 200 to 500 yuan will be imposed; if the load capacity exceeds 30% of the approved capacity or if passengers are carried in violation of regulations, a fine of 500 to 2,000 yuan will be imposed.
