According to the Florida manual, where must you never place a rear-facing child car seat?
-
A.
In the rear seat of the vehicle.
-
B.
In front of an active airbag. Correct
-
C.
On a bench seat secured with a lap belt only.
-
D.
Directly behind the driver's seat.
The answer is "In front of an active airbag."
The manual bans rear-facing seats in front of any airbag. D catches drivers who carry a general worry about the driver-side rear seat forward and apply it here, missing that the manual's only prohibition targets the front airbag position rather than any specific rear seating row.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. In the rear seat of the vehicle.
The rear seat is where the manual directs young children to ride. This answer applies the 'kids ride in back' rule of thumb to the wrong question and flags the recommended location as the banned one.
C. On a bench seat secured with a lap belt only.
The manual's prohibition is about airbag placement, not the belt type used to anchor the seat. This answer substitutes a general lap-belt-only installation worry for the airbag rule the manual actually prints.
D. Directly behind the driver's seat.
Rear seating positions are the recommended location, not a prohibited one. This answer carries over a general worry about the driver-side rear seat, when the manual's only ban targets the front airbag.
