Correct answer
- BSí, si miden más de 135 cm, usando el cinturón de seguridad.Yes, if they are taller than 135 cm, using the seat belt.
Explanation
Age is not the criterion: under Article 117 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), what counts is height. A child taller than 135 cm may travel in the front with the seat belt; if they are 135 cm tall or less, they travel in the back in a child restraint system, and only in exceptional cases in the front.
