Kids car seat laws in Spain

Hi All, we will be coming to Salou in Dec, driving down from Barcelona. My son is 139cm (10 years old) - do we need a booster seat for him or is he OK in the back of the car with just a normal seat belt?

Also, does anyone know any restaurants that will be serving XMas dinner on XMas day?

Thanks, KMateer

The law for Spain is as follows : -
Passengers/Children in cars: Children up to the age of 12 and measuring less than 135 cm travelling on the front seat of a car must be seated in a child restraint system adapted to their size and weight. Children measuring more than 135 cm may use an adult seatbelt. Children under 135 cm travelling on the rear seat must also be placed in a child restraint system adapted to their size and weight, except when travelling in a taxi in an urban area.
