Question 8078

What is the safest seat for installing a child restraint system?

  1. The two rear side seats, as close to the door as possible.
  2. The center rear seat, since it is more protected in a side impact.
  3. The front seat, so the driver can keep an eye on the child.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The center rear seat, since it is more protected in a side impact.

The center rear seat, if it has the anchor point the child seat requires. It’s far from both doors, so it’s less affected by a side impact. The front right seat is the worst affected in crashes. In the picture, the child seat is in the center and facing backward.
