Question 7385

A child under 135 centimeters tall may, as an exception, ride in the front seat of a passenger car when...

  1. the vehicle does not have seat belts.
  2. the child restraint system is forward-facing and the airbag is deactivated.
  3. all the rear seats are occupied by other children using child restraint systems.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: all the rear seats are occupied by other children using child restraint systems.

A child under 135 cm tall must ride in the back, but may ride in the front with a restraint system if all the rear seats are already occupied by other children who are 135 cm tall or shorter. That is what the image shows: three children in the back and a girl in her child seat in the front. Having no seat belts is not one of those exceptions, and the airbag must be deactivated when the child seat faces backward.
