Can a child whose height is less than 1.35 metres travel, as a general rule, in the front seat of the vehicle using only the approved seat belt?
A)Yes.
B)No.Correct
Minors whose height is equal to or less than 1.35 m must compulsorily occupy the rear seats of the vehicle, always using an approved restraint device suitable for their height and weight.
There are three exceptions in which minors who do not reach this height may travel in the front seat:
1. When the vehicle does not have rear seats.
2. When all the rear seats are already occupied by minors with the same physical conditions and, therefore, it is not feasible to install all the seats required at that moment.
3. When it is not possible to install the child restraint systems on those seats.
When the height of the minors is greater than 1.35 m, they may occupy the front seat using the adult seat belt.
