The nurse is evaluating the car seat of a 3-year-old who weighs 42 pounds. Which recommendation should the nurse make about the car seat to the parents?
1. Convertible, rear-facing seat
2. Belt-positioning booster seat
3. A car seat with a harness approved for higher weights and heights
4. A regular seat with lap and shoulder strap
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Highway Safety Administration recommend booster seats for children over 40 pounds and 4 years of age. A 3-year-old should be in a regular car seat with approved harness for higher–weight/height children so that she is protected from injury. Rear-facing seats and regular seat with lap and shoulder strap are not appropriate for a 3-year-old.
