Correct answer
- BNo, excepto que el airbag frontal haya sido desactivado adecuadamente de forma automática.No, unless the front airbag has been properly deactivated automatically.
Explanation
A rear-facing restraint system cannot go in a seat with an active front airbag, because when it inflates it would hit the child seat and the child's head. It is only allowed if the airbag is deactivated, either manually or automatically.
