Question: In Quebec, the safest place for a child under 13 is:

Answer options:

  • Front passenger seat ✅ Back seat, properly restrained
  • Middle of the front bench
  • Trunk

Correct answer: Back seat, properly restrained

Explanation: Under Quebec’s Highway Safety Code and SAAQ safety guidelines, the back seat is the safest place for children under thirteen because it protects them from active front airbags, which deploy with enough force to cause severe injury or death to smaller bodies. The front passenger seat and the middle front bench are dangerous because of this airbag deployment zone and increased vulnerability in frontal collisions. Placing a child in the trunk is highly illegal and life-threatening due to a lack of restraints and ventilation. SAAQ exams frequently test passenger restraint rules, meaning candidates must know correct seating alignments and age thresholds to secure a passing grade on the theory test.
