BDifficulty 3/5

In a car with seat belts and up to nine seats, may a child 125 cm tall travel in front using only the adult belt, without their child restraint?

Correct answer

No, a suitable child restraint is required.

No. Being no taller than 135 cm, the child must use an approved restraint suitable for their height and weight. Normally they must travel in the rear; article 117.3’s exceptions for using the front seat do not permit replacing the child restraint with the adult belt alone. Those exceptions are having no rear seats, all being occupied by children no taller than 135 cm, or being unable to fit all restraints there. If the front child seat is rear-facing, the frontal airbag must be deactivated.
