Who does the California manual say can check the installation of your child passenger restraint system?
-
A.
Only a certified child passenger safety technician.
-
B.
The California DMV during vehicle registration.
-
C.
Your local law enforcement agency or fire department. Correct
The answer is "Your local law enforcement agency or fire department."
The manual names local law enforcement and the fire department as the two places that will check a child restraint installation. Choice A reflects the tone of federal NHTSA guidance around certified child-passenger-safety technicians; California points drivers to services already in their neighborhood.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only a certified child passenger safety technician.
The manual points to local law enforcement and the fire department, not to a credentialed specialist. This answer reflects federal child-passenger-safety technician programs, not what California prints for its drivers.
B. The California DMV during vehicle registration.
The DMV does not check restraint installations at registration. This answer assumes a vehicle-safety inspection role the DMV does not actually carry out.
