How many infants is an adult allowed to be in charge of?

An adult is permitted to be in charge of only one infant for safety and responsibility reasons. This guideline ensures that the adult can effectively supervise and attend to the needs of the infant, which can include tasks like ensuring proper use of infant restraint systems during transport and responding to emergencies. In scenarios involving child transport, the responsibility is significant, and having multiple infants under one adult's supervision can lead to increased risks, such as inadequate monitoring or care.

While some options suggest varying amounts of responsibility—such as the idea of being able to manage multiple child safety seats—those do not align with safety regulations and common practices, which prioritize the well-being of the infant. Therefore, the selection of one infant as the appropriate limit reflects a best practice in caring for young children, ensuring safety and focused attention.
