Does the 5-person limit for sedans include children?

[ChristianRose]

The 5-passenger capacity limit for sedans does include children. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. The approved passenger capacity of a vehicle is calculated by headcount, with no restrictions on passengers' age, height or weight. Therefore, even an infant of several months counts as one passenger. If a sedan carries five adults plus one infant, it constitutes overloading. 2. The Road Traffic Safety Law clearly stipulates: Children under 12 years old cannot sit in the front passenger seat when traveling by car and must sit in the rear seats. Children under 4 years old must use child safety seats when riding in vehicles. Children under 7 years old may use three-point seat belts in combination with child seats.
