Correct answer

  • BNo, es obligatorio usar un sistema de retención infantil.No, a child restraint system must be used.
Explanation

If you carry a child in your arms, in sudden braking or an accident the child can be thrown out of your arms and seriously injured. Vehicle seats are built and designed to carry adults, in both height and weight. When carrying children, you must fit a restraint system suited to the child's weight and height. That way, in an accident or sudden braking, the restraint system will work properly.
