Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. At 125 cm tall, the child needs a child restraint system suited to their height and weight. A seat belt alone is not enough. Even when the child may ride in the front, for example if other children already occupy the rear seats, they must use their restraint system, like the booster seat used by the child in the image.
