Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. "My husband refuses to use a previously owned car seat unless it has the instructions.": Correct practice. Car seats should not be used without proper manufacturer instructions.
B. "We will need to go by the weight and height of our child when deciding to change to a booster seat.": Car seat transitions are based on the child’s weight and height, not age alone.
C. "I will place the infant safety seat in the middle of the back seat, away from the windows.": This is the safest position in the vehicle.
D. "My baby will be comforted in the back seat by being able to watch me while I drive.": This implies the baby is forward-facing, which is unsafe for infants. Infants should be in a rear-facing car seat until they meet the manufacturer’s limits.
