Correct answer

  • CEn el asiento trasero con un sistema de retención infantil adecuado a su talla y peso.In the rear seat, with a child restraint system suited to their height and weight.
Explanation

Minors who are 1.35 m tall or less must sit in the rear seats of the vehicle, always using an approved restraint system suited to their height and weight. There are three exceptions in which minors below that height may travel in the front seat: 1. When the vehicle has no rear seats. 2. When all the rear seats are already taken by minors in the same situation, so it is impossible to fit all the child seats needed at that moment. 3. When it is not possible to fit child restraint systems in those seats. If they sit in the front seats and the vehicle has a front airbag, they may only use rear-facing restraint systems if the airbag has been deactivated.
