Correct answer

  • AUn dispositivo de retención infantil adaptado a su talla y peso.A child restraint device suited to their height and weight.
Explanation

Children who are 135 cm tall or less must travel in the rear seats using an approved child restraint system suited to their height and weight. The vehicle's seat belt is not designed for their size, and in a crash it can injure their neck or abdomen.
