Which statement about Kansas seat belt usage is correct?

• A. All drivers and passengers must wear a seat belt; children must be properly restrained.
• B. Seat belts are optional for adults; children must be restrained.
• C. Seat belts are only required in the front seat.
• D. Seat belts are only recommended, not required.

Answer: (A)

Wearing a seat belt is required for everyone in the vehicle, and children must be properly restrained according to their age and size. In Kansas, the law mandates that all drivers and passengers buckle up, and that kids use the appropriate child safety seats or boosters. This applies to all seating positions, not just the front seat, and it’s more than a suggestion—it’s the rule. The other statements conflict with this by implying adults can go without belts, or that restraints are only needed in the front seat, or that belts are only recommended.
