Which restraint position is described as chest-down?

• A. A restraint in which the child is placed in a chest-down hold.
• B. A restraint with the child chest-up while seated
• C. A restraint where the child is standing
• D. A restraint using a device to limit movement

Answer: (A)

Chest-down describes a prone restraint, where the child is lying face down with the chest toward the surface. This wording directly matches the description “chest-down,” making it the best fit for the term. The other options describe different ideas: chest-up while seated implies the child is upright with the chest facing forward; standing is a vertical posture not in a prone position; and using a device to limit movement refers to a mechanical restraint rather than a body position. Understanding the orientation helps you identify the correct type of hold and reinforces the importance of safety and monitoring whenever restraints are used.
