Question 4659
In a five-seat passenger car, as a general rule, in which seat must a child who is less than 1.35 m tall ride?
- In the front seat.
- In a rear seat.
- In any seat, as long as they use a child restraint system.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: In a rear seat.
In a rear seat. A child who is 135 cm tall or shorter must ride in back, in a restraint system suited to their size and weight, like the girl in the image. Using a child seat does not mean they can choose any seat. They may ride in front only in three cases: if there are no rear seats, if all the rear seats are occupied by other children in that height range, or if not all the child seats fit in back.
