Correct answer
- BNunca debe ir tumbado, porque en caso de accidente, puede sufrir graves lesiones.They must never lie down, because they may suffer serious injuries in an accident.
Children must never lie down on the rear seat of the vehicle, because they may suffer serious injuries in an accident. Children must travel in child restraint systems suited to their height and weight, always sitting and correctly held in. Travelling lying down or without a restraint increases the risk of injury in a collision.
