A child is taller than the child seat's maximum and the adult belt does not fit well. What is the best solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. A booster seat suited to the child's size
- Step 1: The belt must cross the shoulder and chest and sit low on the hips. Step 2. A booster seat raises the child so that the belt fits. Answer: A booster seat suited to the child's size. Why not the others: Pass the shoulder belt under the child's arm: this removes the shoulder protection. Let the child sit on a folded coat or cushion to raise them: soft padding does not position the belt correctly. Seat the child on an adult's lap with the adult's belt over both: a lap can crush the child in a crash.
