A lap child should be seated in the section that has _______.

A lap child should be seated in the section that has _______.

• A. Additional oxygen masks
• B. Infant seat belt extensions
• C. Emergency exit area
• D. Front galley

Answer: (A)

In a depressurization, oxygen access is essential, and for a lap child the quickest, most reliable access is in the section that has additional oxygen masks. This placement helps ensure the infant can receive oxygen promptly while the parent manages the child, without having to reach across the cabin. The other areas don’t provide this practical safety alignment: an emergency exit area has seating restrictions and isn’t suitable for a lap child; the front galley isn’t a seating area; and infant belt extensions aren’t the mechanism used to ensure oxygen access for a lap child.
