You want to transport a child in the front seat of a vehicle fitted with a front passenger airbag that is active. How would you proceed?

The question is about carrying a child in the front seat of a vehicle fitted with an active passenger airbag. You may do this in a forward-facing child seat - the answer is B.

The Road Traffic Act prohibits carrying a child in a rear-facing child seat or other restraint device in the front seat of a vehicle fitted with a passenger airbag that is active while the child is being carried. The ban applies only to the rear-facing position: an airbag that deploys then hits the back of the child seat, right next to the child's head. A forward-facing child seat, suitable for the child's weight and height, may be placed in the front even with an active airbag - that is why answer B is correct. Answers A and C describe the rear-facing position, once in a child seat and once in another restraint device; both cases are covered by the ban, because the rule refers to both types of device. If you want to carry a baby rear-facing in the front, you first switch off the passenger airbag, and it is even safer to put the child in the back.
