Question 231 in the bank

How would you seat a child less than three years of age inside a vehicle?

A child car seat with grey and blue checkered padding, a high backrest and a white five-point harness.
  1. Wearing a three-point safety belt.
  2. Correct answer: In a safety seat that fits his height and weight.
  3. Wearing any of the vehicle’s safety belts.
  4. Wearing a waist belt.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: In a safety seat that fits his height and weight.

A child under three years of age must travel in a safety seat that fits his or her height and weight. The vehicle's safety belts, even the three-point belt, are designed for an adult body and do not suit a small child. In an accident they may not restrain the child properly and may even injure the child. The safety seat holds the small body safely.
