Question 5082

The placement of child restraint systems is safest in …

  1. the center rear seat, since it is less affected by side impacts.
  2. the front seat, so the driver can keep an eye on it.
  3. either of the outer rear seats, so that the front seatback protects it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: the center rear seat, since it is less affected by side impacts.

The center rear seat is the safest if it has the anchorage the child car seat requires. That is where the rear-facing infant car seat in the image is installed. It is far from both doors and is less affected by a side impact. The front passenger seat is the most affected in crashes.
