Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure **children's safety** when traveling in a vehicle, it is crucial to follow certain recommendations when using child restraint systems. One of the most important is to **disconnect the front airbag** if a child seat is going to be placed in the front seat. This is because, if activated, the airbag could hit the child seat and cause serious injuries to the child.
Additionally, it is recommended that child seats be placed in the **rear center seat** of the vehicle, as it is the safest place in the event of an accident. However, if it is necessary to place the child seat in the front seat, it is essential to ensure that the airbag is deactivated to avoid risks.
Therefore, the correct answer is that **the front airbag must be disconnected beforehand** when placing a child seat in the front seat.
