Which seating location is not suitable for a rear-facing infant car seat?

• A. Front seat
• B. Back seat
• C. Driver's seat
• D. Trunk

Answer: (A)

Front seats are not suitable for a rear-facing infant seat because the front passenger airbag can injure a baby in a crash. The back seat is the safer, recommended place for rear-facing seats, since it keeps the infant farther from the airbag and provides a more protected position. The driver's seat is in the front row, so it shares the same risk as the front passenger seat. The trunk isn’t a seating area at all and can’t safely accommodate a child seat.
