Question 6271

What is the function of the booster seat for children?

  1. To replace the seat belt.
  2. To raise the child's height in the vehicle seat in order to allow the seat belt to be adjusted effectively.
  3. So that the child has better visibility of the road.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: To raise the child's height in the vehicle seat in order to allow the seat belt to be adjusted effectively.

A booster cushion raises the child so the car's seat belt goes across the collarbone and hips, rather than the neck or abdomen. It does not replace the seat belt; it is used with it, as the child in the image is doing. If the belt touches the child's neck, they still need the booster.
