Carrying a child seated in a rear-facing position in a child restraint system fitted in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an airbag is:
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Permissible if the airbag is not enabled during transport.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a child seated facing backwards in a child seat on the front seat of a vehicle with an airbag. This is allowed if the airbag is not active while the child is being carried - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits carrying a child seated facing backwards in a child seat on the front seat of a motor vehicle equipped with a passenger airbag that is active while the child is being carried. So the ban applies only to an active airbag - when you disable it, carrying the child is allowed, which is why answer B is too strict, and answer C leaves out this condition. An inflating airbag hits the back of the child seat right next to the child's head with enormous force and can fatally injure the child. You usually disable the airbag with the key in the dashboard and check that the warning light has come on.
