Does the sedan's capacity of 5 people include children?

The sedan's capacity of 5 people includes children. The vehicle's approved passenger capacity is calculated based on headcount, with no restrictions on passengers' age, height, or weight. Therefore, even an infant of a few months counts as one passenger. If a sedan carries five adults plus one infant, it constitutes overloading. The Road Traffic Safety Law clearly stipulates: Children under 12 years old cannot sit in the front passenger seat when riding in a car and must sit in the rear. Children under 4 years old must use a safety seat when traveling in a vehicle, while those under 7 years old can use a three-point seat belt in conjunction with a child seat.
