D) All school-age children need to be secured in lap seat belts.
Ans: B
All school-age children need to be secured in safety seats, belt-positioning booster seats, or shoulder lap belts for their size. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends booster seats for children until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall or at least 8 years of age, and all children 12 and under should ride in the back seat to eliminate the risk of injury from airbag deployment (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA], 2008).
