A nurse is teaching a parent of a 6-month-old infant about car seat safety. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?
A. "The car seat is rear facing in the front passenger seat
B. "Our car seat is front-facing in the back seat."
C. "I can fit my hand between the baby and the car seat harness”
D. "Our car seat is an infant model and is anchored in the car”
Using an infant model car seat that is properly anchored in the car is the recommended practice for a 6-month-old infant. Rear-facing positioning in the back seat is also the safest option for infants to protect them in the event of a collision. Ensuring that the harness is snug and there is no space between the baby and the car seat harness is also important for optimal safety.
