Correct answer
C. according to the recommendations of the device manufacturer.
Explanation
The question is about how child safety seats and other child restraint devices must be fitted in a vehicle. They must be fitted according to the recommendations of the device manufacturer - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act states that child safety seats and other child restraint devices are fitted in the vehicle according to the recommendations of the device manufacturer, which show how the device can be used safely. The manufacturer specifies what weight and height of child the child seat is intended for, whether it is fitted with the car's seat belt or with ISOFIX anchor points, facing forwards or backwards, and on which seat - and only fitting it in line with these instructions guarantees that the child seat will work in an accident in the same way as in crash tests. Answers A and B describe pleasant features that are legally irrelevant: appearance does not matter, and "easy access to the child" cannot be more important than a safe fitting. A child less than 150 cm tall must travel in a child seat suited to their weight and height, meeting the EU technical conditions or UNECE regulations; a badly fitted child seat is almost as dangerous as having none.
