Correct answer

  • CSí, en los casos excepcionales previstos y con el airbag frontal desactivado.Yes, in the exceptional cases allowed and with the front airbag deactivated.
Explanation

Children 135 cm tall or shorter must travel in the rear; only exceptionally may they travel in the front, for example if there are no rear seats or the rear seats are occupied by other children. If the vehicle has a front airbag, a rear-facing system may only be used in the front with the airbag deactivated (Article 117.3 of the General Traffic Regulations).
