There are three exceptions under which children who do not exceed 135 centimetres in height may travel in the front seat:
1. When the vehicle has no rear seats.
2. When all rear seats are already occupied by the children referred to in the second paragraph of section 1.
3. When it is not possible to install all child restraint systems in those seats.
In these three cases, a restraint system approved according to the child's height and weight must be used. Placing said system in a rearward-facing position is not only permitted but advisable. When using a rearward-facing child restraint device, the airbag on that seat must be deactivated.
