Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. A forward-facing child car seat attached by a seatbelt or UAS strap, with the tether strap anchored
Children weighing 9–18 kg need a forward-facing car seat with tether anchored to the vehicle. The tether prevents the seat from rocking forward in a collision, protecting the child's head and neck. Ontario requires the National Safety Mark on the seat.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.A regular adult seatbeltAdult seatbelts do not fit toddlers and can cause serious injury in a crash; they are for occupants 145+ cm tall.
- C.A booster seatBooster seats are for older children (typically 18 kg+ and taller); a 12 kg toddler requires a tethered child seat.
- D.Any child restraint, as long as they can sit stillAny child restraint is insufficient; the car seat must meet Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and be anchored.
