Question: In Quebec, child car seats must be:

Answer options: ✅ Approved by Transport Canada (National Safety Mark)

• Any seat that fits
• Used only on highways
• Only required for newborns

Correct answer: Approved by Transport Canada (National Safety Mark)

Explanation: Under Quebec's Highway Safety Code, all child car seats must carry the National Safety Mark to prove they meet Transport Canada's strict safety standards. Using any unapproved seat is both illegal and unsafe, while restricting car seat use to highways or limiting it only to newborns is incorrect because the law mandates appropriate restraint systems on all public roads for all children until they reach nine years of age or 145 centimeters in height. Understanding Transport Canada certification and Quebec's occupant protection laws is highly relevant for the SAAQ knowledge test, as questions frequently evaluate a driver's legal responsibility toward passenger safety.
