Correct answer

Explanation

Under Article 117.3 of the General Traffic Regulations, children shorter than 135 cm must travel in the back seats in an approved child restraint system suited to their height and weight. Only in exceptional cases may they travel in the front, and never with the adult seat belt instead of the child restraint system.
