Question 230 in the bank

The use of which safety restraints is obligatory when driving children less than eight years of age?

  1. A three-point safety belt only.
  2. Correct answer: A safety seat or a booster.
  3. A safety belt only.
  4. A waist belt only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: A safety seat or a booster.

Children under eight must travel in a safety seat or a booster suited to their age and size and properly fixed in the vehicle. A regular safety belt, whether three-point or waist only, is designed for adults. On a small child it crosses the neck or stomach and can cause serious injury in a crash. A booster lifts the child so the belt sits in the right place.
