A
The parent's statement "Now that my child is 2 years old, I can let her sit in the front seat of the car with me" indicates that further teaching is required. Children who weigh less than 36 kg or who are younger than 8 years of age should always be seated in an age- or weight-appropriate car seat that has been installed according to the manufacturer's directions. In cars with a passenger airbag, children younger than 12 should sit in the back seat.
Wearing a helmet is an appropriate safety measure to reduce injuries from falling off a bike or being hit by a car.
Speaking to a child about safe sex practices is an important safety measure as many adolescents begin sexual relationships.
Enrolling a child for swimming lessons is an appropriate safety measure that may someday save a child from drowning.
