Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
A front-facing car seat for an infant does not provide adequate protection in the event of a collision. Infants should always be in a rear-facing car seat to support their head, neck, and spine.
Choice B rationale
Using an infant model car seat designed specifically for the car ensures that the seat meets safety standards and is appropriate for the child's size and developmental needs, providing optimal protection.
Choice C rationale
Being able to fit a hand between the baby and the car seat harness indicates the harness is too loose. The harness should be snug enough that only one or two fingers can fit between the strap and the baby's chest to provide secure restraint.
Choice D rationale
A rear-facing car seat should not be placed in the front passenger seat due to the risk of injury from airbags. The safest position for a rear-facing car seat is in the back seat, away from active airbags.
