Correct answer
- CSí, pero el airbag debe estar desactivado.Yes, but the airbag must be deactivated.
There are three exceptions in which children no taller than 135 centimetres may travel in the front seat: 1. When the vehicle has no rear seats. 2. When all the rear seats are already taken by other children who are 135 cm tall or less. 3. When it is not possible to fit all the child restraint systems in those seats. In these three cases, an approved restraint system suited to the child's height and weight must be used. Fitting this system facing backwards is not only allowed but advisable. When using a rear-facing child restraint system, we must deactivate that seat's airbag.
