Correct answer

  • CSí, si el vehículo no dispone de asientos traseros o estos ya están ocupados por menores.Yes, if the vehicle has no rear seats or they are already taken by children.
Explanation

Under article 117.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, a child 135 cm tall or less travels in the back in their child restraint system. They may travel in the front only if there are no rear seats, if the rear seats are taken by other children or if the child seats cannot be fitted there; with a rear-facing child seat, the airbag must be deactivated.
