Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Only in exceptional cases.
Only in exceptional cases. A child may ride in front in their child restraint system if the vehicle has no rear seats, if those seats are already occupied by other children 135 cm tall or shorter, or if all the restraint systems won’t fit in the back. That’s the situation in the picture, with three children in their seats in the back. With a rear-facing child seat, the front airbag must be deactivated.
