A minor measuring 1.40 metres, can they travel in the front passenger seat?
A)Yes, but only with an approved restraint device.
B)Yes.Correct
C)No.
Minors whose height is equal to or less than 1.35 m must occupy the rear seats of the vehicle, always using a restraint device approved according to 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 would be unfeasible to install all the seats required at that time.
3. When it is not possible to install the child restraint systems in 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.
In this case, since the minor measures 1.40 m, they can travel in the front seat using the seat belt.
