Question 4346

- Yes, in a child restraint system adapted to their height and weight.
- Yes, but using the seat belt.
- No, because they must not ride in the front seat.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, in a child restraint system adapted to their height and weight.
Yes. A child who is 135 cm tall or shorter must ride in back, but may ride in front if all the rear seats are already occupied by other children in that height range. In front, the child must also use a restraint system suited to their size and weight; the seat belt alone is not enough. In the image, the baby's seat is rear-facing, so the front airbag for that seat must be deactivated.
