How tall must a child be to be in a car seat?

A. 3 feet
B. 4 feet
C. 4 feet 9 inches
D. 5 feet

The correct answer is: C. 4 feet 9 inches

A child must be at least 4 feet 9 inches tall to transition out of a car seat and use a regular seat belt safely. This height is crucial because it ensures that the seat belt fits properly across the child's lap and shoulder, minimizing the risk of injury during a crash. The guidelines established by safety organizations recommend that children remain in car seats or booster seats until they reach this height to ensure maximum safety. This standard takes into account the development of children and the necessity of having seat belts fit properly in order to provide optimal protection in the event of an accident. Correctly fitted seat belts are a primary factor in reducing injuries, thus reinforcing the height requirement for children transitioning from car seats. The other height options do not meet the safety standards set for transitioning out of a car seat, indicating a potential risk if a child is less than the recommended height.
