Correct answer

  • ANo. El airbag frontal debe estar desconectado.No. The front airbag must be deactivated.
Explanation

A rear-facing child seat may only go in the front seat if that seat's front airbag is deactivated. If it goes off, it hits the back of the child seat next to the child's head and can cause serious injuries. It is not true that the child seat must always go in the back.
