  • 2. 

    The two types of car seats for babies are:

    • Convertible and infant-only

    • Infant-only and backless booster

    • Convertible and backless booster

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Convertible and infant-only
    Explanation
    Convertible and infant-only are the two types of car seats for babies. Convertible car seats can be used in both rear-facing and forward-facing positions, accommodating the child's growth. On the other hand, infant-only car seats are designed specifically for newborns and young infants, providing a rear-facing position for maximum safety. These seats are portable and often come with a detachable base, allowing easy transfer in and out of the car. Therefore, the correct answer is convertible and infant-only.

    Infants should ride in a rear-facing seat until they are

    • At least 20 pounds

    • One year of age

    • A and B

    • Neither A nor B

    Correct Answer
    A. A and B
    Explanation
    Infants should ride in a rear-facing seat until they are at least 20 pounds and one year of age. This is because rear-facing seats provide better protection for the baby's head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash. The weight requirement ensures that the baby has developed enough strength to withstand the impact, while the age requirement ensures that their neck and spine have developed enough to handle the forces involved. Therefore, both conditions need to be met for the infant's safety.

  • 4. 

    In a rear-facing seat, the slots for the harness straps should be

    • Above the top of your baby's shoulders

    • Below the top of your baby's shoulders

    • Exactly at the top of your baby's shoulders

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Below the top of your baby's shoulders
    Explanation
    In a rear-facing seat, the slots for the harness straps should be below the top of your baby's shoulders. This is because having the straps positioned below the shoulders ensures that the harness can properly secure the baby in the event of a crash or sudden stop. If the straps are above the shoulders, there is a risk of the baby being ejected from the seat or experiencing more severe injuries. Therefore, it is important to adjust the harness straps to the correct position for maximum safety.

    It is best to position an infant car seat

    • Rear-facing, back seat (either side)

    • Rear-facing, front passenger seat

    • Front-facing, middle back seat

    • Rear-facing, middle back seat

    Correct Answer
    A. Rear-facing, middle back seat
    Explanation
    The best position for an infant car seat is rear-facing in the middle back seat. This position provides the most protection for the baby in the event of a collision. Placing the car seat in the middle back seat reduces the risk of side impact and ensures that the baby is farthest from the doors. Rear-facing is recommended because it provides better support for the baby's head, neck, and spine, reducing the risk of injury. Placing the car seat in the front passenger seat or in a front-facing position increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
