A Nevada child must ride in an approved child restraint system if they are under six years old or shorter than what height?
-
A.
48 inches
-
B.
65 inches
-
C.
40 inches
-
D.
57 inches Correct
The answer is "57 inches"
Nevada requires an approved child restraint for anyone under age six or measuring less than 57 inches tall. Either trigger applies. A tall five-year-old still needs the restraint until age six; a short seven-year-old still needs it until they clear 57 inches.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 48 inches
Forty-eight inches is a common booster-seat rule of thumb, not the 57-inch Nevada threshold. This answer rounds the height limit down to a memorable four feet rather than Nevada's exact 57 inches.
B. 65 inches
Sixty-five inches is taller than the 57-inch cutoff the Nevada manual sets. This answer uses a taller height than the 57-inch threshold the manual sets.
C. 40 inches
Forty inches is shorter than the 57-inch cutoff the Nevada manual sets. This answer uses a shorter height than the 57-inch threshold the manual sets.
