Correct answer

  • AA partir de 1,35 m de estatura.From a height of 1.35 m.
Explanation

Children 135 cm tall or less must use an approved child restraint system. From 1.35 m they may use the ordinary seat belt, although up to 1.50 m it is recommended to keep using an adapted device. What counts is height, not age.
