Correct answer

  • CCuando todos los asientos traseros estén ya ocupados por menores de edad de estatura igual o inferior a 135 centímetros.When all the rear seats are already occupied by children 135 centimetres tall or less.
Explanation

Under Article 117 of the General Traffic Regulations, a child 135 cm tall or less may sit in the front, in their restraint system, if the vehicle has no rear seats, if all rear seats are occupied by other such children, or if no more restraint systems fit. If the seat is rear-facing, the airbag must be switched off.
