Correct answer
C. As recommended by the device manufacturer.
Explanation
The question is about how to install in a vehicle a restraint used for carrying a child. You install it in the way recommended by the device manufacturer - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act states that child safety seats and other child restraints are installed in the vehicle in line with the recommendations of the device manufacturer, which indicate how the device can be used safely. The rule covers all restraints - not only classic child seats, but also booster seats and devices for children with disabilities. The manufacturer's instructions say how to route the car seat belt, how to attach the ISOFIX connectors and the support leg, and which position is allowed on a given seat; this decides whether the device will hold the child in an accident. Answer A - "just as the child wishes" - is obviously wrong: a child does not judge safety, and their wishes (no belts, facing forwards, next to mum) are often the exact opposite of the recommendations. Answer B puts the driver's comfort above safety. A correctly fitted device does not move on the seat, and the child's harness straps are so tight that no more than a flat hand fits under them.
