A)I should secure the car seat using lower anchors and tethers instead of the seatbelt.

B)Implement seizure precautions for the infant
C)Turn off, occlude, remove tape, apply pressure
D) None of these

Answer 1

The guardian's understanding of car seat use is indicated by their statement: "I should secure the car seat using lower anchors and tethers instead of the seatbelt."

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that indicates an understanding of car seat use is:

A) I should secure the car seat using lower anchors and tethers instead of the seatbelt.

Using the lower anchors and tethers is the recommended method to secure a car seat as it provides a secure attachment to the vehicle. This method is safer than using the seatbelt alone, which can be less secure and may lead to improper installation of the car seat.
