Child Passenger Safety Technician Certification Exam

Question 1

A 7-year-old child weighs 55 lbs and is 48 inches tall. The caregiver wants to move them from a forward-facing harness to a booster seat. According to the 5-step test for proper seat belt fit, which of the following is NOT a requirement for a child to be ready for a seat belt alone, and thus still needs a booster?

The child's feet can comfortably reach the vehicle floor. The child's back is flat against the vehicle seat back. The vehicle lap belt lies snugly across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt lies across the center of the collarbone and chest.

Correct Answer:

The child's feet can comfortably reach the vehicle floor.

Question 2

Which of the following is the MOST common misuse associated with belt-positioning booster seats?

Using a backless booster in a vehicle with low seat backs. Not securing the booster seat with the vehicle belt when unoccupied. Improper placement of the vehicle's shoulder and/or lap belt. Using a booster seat with lower anchors when the vehicle seat belt is also used.

Correct Answer:

Improper placement of the vehicle's shoulder and/or lap belt.

Question 3

A caregiver brings a 6-year-old to a checkup event. The child is using a high-back booster seat. The technician notices the vehicle's shoulder belt is positioned on the child's neck. What is the appropriate FIRST step for the technician to take?

Advise the caregiver to switch to a backless booster. Tell the caregiver the child is not ready for a booster seat. Check if the booster's headrest and shoulder belt guide are adjusted correctly. Recommend the child place the shoulder belt behind their back for comfort.

Correct Answer:

Check if the booster's headrest and shoulder belt guide are adjusted correctly.

Question 4

What is the primary reason a child who has outgrown their forward-facing harnessed seat is NOT ready for a vehicle seat belt alone and should use a belt-positioning booster?

To provide a place for the child to sleep comfortably on long trips. To lift the child so they can see out the window better. To ensure the vehicle's lap and shoulder belts are positioned correctly on the strongest parts of the child's body. To satisfy state laws, which are the only determining factor for booster use.

Correct Answer:

To ensure the vehicle's lap and shoulder belts are positioned correctly on the strongest parts of the child's body.

Question 5

A parent states they just transitioned their 5-year-old, 42-pound child to a backless booster seat. The child often complains the shoulder belt bothers their neck and puts it behind their back during the ride. What should the CPST advise?

This is acceptable as long as the lap belt is positioned correctly. Use a shoulder belt adjuster clip that came with the booster to improve fit. Allow the child to use just the lap belt portion of the seat belt. Move the child to the front seat where the belt geometry might be better.

Correct Answer:

Use a shoulder belt adjuster clip that came with the booster to improve fit.
