May a child under 1 year old travel in the front seat if all the rear seats are occupied by children in child restraint systems?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To allow a **child under 1 year old** to travel in the **front seat** of a car, certain conditions must be met. One of them is that **all the rear seats are occupied by other children** with their respective child restraint systems. In this case, the child can travel in the front, but must always do so with a **child restraint system adapted to their size and weight**.
- **Child restraint systems** are devices specifically designed to protect children in the car. These systems must be adapted to the child's **height and weight** to ensure their safety.
- It is important that the child restraint system is installed correctly. For small children, it is recommended to place the seat **rear-facing**, that is, facing backwards, as it is safer.
- Additionally, the seat should not be installed in a position with an **airbag** in front, as it can be dangerous in case of activation.
Therefore, if all the rear seats are occupied, a child under 1 year old can travel in the front seat, as long as they use a child restraint system appropriate for their measurements.
