  2. In a seat that has no active front air bag
  3. Only in the front seat, so you can see the child
  4. Only in a seat next to a window
Show answer

Correct answer: In a seat that has no active front air bag

A front air bag opens with great force and can hurt a child in a rear-facing seat. Use a seat with no active front air bag, such as the rear seat.
