Correct answer

  • CTanto los asientos delanteros como los traseros, usando el cinturón de seguridad de adulto.Both the front and the rear seats, using the adult seat belt.
Explanation

Only children who are 135 cm tall or shorter must use a child restraint system and, as a general rule, travel in the rear seats. At 136 cm the child is taller than this, so they may use any seat with the adult seat belt (Article 117 of the General Traffic Regulations).
