Question

KET Užduotys · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: Carry the child this way for as long as possible, following the seat maker's instructions.. Explanation: Safety research backs the advice to keep a child in a rearward-facing seat for as long as possible, following the seat maker's instructions. In a frontal impact this position spreads the forces across the child's back and protects the head and neck far better.. KET reference: KET 201: It is recommended that a child be carried for as long as possible in a special seat fitted to their height and weight, facing opposite the vehicle's normal direction of travel.
