Correct answer
- CSí, pero el airbag debe estar desactivado.Yes, but the airbag must be deactivated.
Under the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), children must travel in the rear seats, but they are allowed to use the front seat if they use an approved child restraint system and the front airbag is deactivated. This is crucial, because an airbag going off can cause serious injuries or even death to a child in a rear-facing restraint system. So it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag in these cases to keep the child safe.
