Correct answer
- CNo, como norma general los niños deben viajar en los asientos traseros.No, as a general rule children must travel in the rear seats.
Children with a height of 135 cm or less must travel in the back in their child restraint system; only in exceptional cases may they travel in the front. In that case, if the seat is rear-facing and there is a front airbag, the airbag must be deactivated, because when it inflates it would hit the seat next to the child's head.
