What Do You Know About Child Development?

Test your knowledge of child development by taking this quiz.

1. When riding in a motor vehicle, how tall should a child be to sit in a regular seat and use an adult seat belt instead of a being strapped into a car safety seat or booster seat?

You didn't answer this question.

You answered

The correct answer is

Children are usually big enough to use a regular seat when they are 8 to 12 years old. But children ages 12 and younger should ride in the back seat. Before letting your children use the regular seat and adult seat belt, make sure the seat belts fit them. The shoulder belt should lie across the chest, not the neck or throat, says the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The lap belt should lie across the thighs, not the stomach. Children should be big enough to sit so that their back is against the back of the seat and their feet are hanging down, with the knees bent. Until your child reaches this size, they should stay in a booster seat.

A. 3 feet, 5 inchesB. 4 feetC. 4 feet, 9 inchesD. 5 feet
