Correct answer

  • ASí, pero el airbag debe estar desactivado.Yes, but the airbag must be deactivated.
Explanation

Under Article 117 of the RGC, a rear-facing restraint system in a front seat with a front airbag may only be used if the airbag is deactivated, because when it inflates it would hit the back of the child seat and the child's head.
