A child at least two (or younger and too big for a rear-facing seat) rides in a forward-facing car seat in a rear seat. At four or older, once too big for that, a booster seat in a rear seat until the adult belt fits.
A child two or older, or younger and too big for rear-facing, rides in a forward-facing car seat in a rear seat.
From the SCDMV Driver's License Manual, page 4-7. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
