Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, minors 135 cm or shorter must travel in the rear seats. However, regulations allow exceptions, such as when the rear seats are already occupied by other minors with their child seats. In this case, the child may ride in the front, but it is mandatory to use an approved Child Restraint System (CRS) adapted to their size and weight. Furthermore, it is vital to remember that if a rear-facing CRS is used in the front seat, the passenger airbag must be deactivated. Using only the seat belt for a baby is extremely dangerous and prohibited.
