Transporting a child in the front seat of a car without a child safety seat is:
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. Prohibited if the child is less than 150 cm tall.
Explanation
The question is about carrying a child on the front seat of a car without a child seat. This is prohibited if the child is less than 150 cm tall - answer A.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits carrying a child who is less than 150 cm tall on the front seat of a motor vehicle outside a child safety seat or another restraint device. So the limit is height, not age. This is not an absolute ban (answer B) - a child who is at least 150 cm tall may travel in the front wearing just the seat belt. The value of 140 cm (answer C) does not come from the regulations. On the rear seat the rule is less strict: a child who is at least 135 cm tall may travel using just the seat belts when, because of the child's weight and height, it is not possible to find a suitable child seat.
