When a CRS is used, where must the parent or guardian be seated?

• A. In the same row as the CRS
• B. In a different row
• C. In the cockpit
• D. In any seat with unrestricted access to an aisle

Answer: (A)

When a child restraint system is used, the supervising adult must be in the same row as the child. This keeps the child within immediate reach for monitoring the harness, making adjustments, and responding quickly during critical moments like takeoff, turbulence, or an emergency. Being in the same row ensures the adult can assist right away without delay. A cockpit seat is not appropriate for a guardian, and being in a different row or in a seat with an aisle opening would separate the child from the adult, reducing supervision and quick access when needed.
