Show the correct answer
Correct answer
B. Permitted if the vehicle is fitted with safety belts and a child safety seat.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a child under 3 years of age in a passenger car. This is allowed if the vehicle is equipped with seat belts and a child seat - answer B.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits carrying a child under 3 years of age in a vehicle of category M1, N1, N2 or N3 that is not equipped with seat belts and a child safety seat, or with seat belts and another restraint device. A passenger car belongs to category M1, so the lack of seat belts (answer A) rules out carrying such a child. However, the ban is not absolute (answer C) - when the vehicle has seat belts and a child seat suited to the child's weight and height, carrying the child is allowed. A small child must not be carried on an adult's lap, because in a collision nobody can hold the child in their arms.
Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 2 point 5 and Art. 39 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
