Question 4268

If the occupants of a vehicle's rear seats are minors who are 135 cm tall or shorter, what safety devices must they use?

  1. The seat belt installed in the vehicle.
  2. A child restraint system adapted to their size and weight.
  3. A child restraint system welded to the vehicle's body is required.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A child restraint system adapted to their size and weight.

A minor who is 135 cm tall or shorter must ride in an approved child restraint system chosen for their size and weight, like the two children in the image. The vehicle's seat belt alone is not enough until they are taller than that. The system does not need to be welded to the vehicle's body either. It must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
