Children under one year should NOT ride facing towards the forward. In the event of a crash, their neck muscles that are weak could stretch and cause serious injuries.

Read your car seat instructions carefully.

Safety

Infant car seats are designed to safeguard the neck and head of your child in the event of an accident. The forward facing position can also prevent your child from hitting their head on the back of the car seat which could cause serious injuries.

All infant car seats that face forward come with five-point harnesses that hold the child in place with just one pull tightening, and the shell of the car seat is lined with EPS energy-absorbing foam for improved protection from impact. Some also have a canopy that provides shade from the sun.

The most effective infant car seats have an adjustable angle adjuster and an angle indicator. This lets you determine the right angle for your child's neck to stop it from slipping over in the event of a collision. The top tether strap connects to the vehicle's tether anchor and comes from the top. It's important to keep in mind that your child might not require switching to a forward-facing car seat until they reach the maximum weight and height limit that is stated in the instruction manual for the seat you're using.

When your child is 20 lbs and a year old is over, it's time to switch. Babies and toddlers under one year old have loose, soft neck muscles which can result in whiplash during the event of a crash. They are more likely to suffer serious neck injuries when they travel in a frontal collision (the most frequent and severe type). Rear-facing car seats protect the necks of infants under one year old by cushioning their heads.

If children are moving to a forward facing car seat, they still require a convertible or an all-in-one seat that has a large rearward weight and height limit. They shouldn't be pushed to an adult car seat until they reach the high back or backless booster age and height requirements for the seat typically about age 4 or 5. You can see the difference in these seats when you watch these crash videos but remember that the video is slow-motion. If a child moves too quickly, they can be injured.

Comfort

A retractable sun canopy helps shield your child from the sun. To ensure safety the seat is designed to be secured to the seat belt of your vehicle and has an adjustable clip that holds the latch buckle securely fastened when not in use.

Be aware that children should not face forward until they weigh at 20 pounds and are a year old.

Some experts suggest waiting longer, since the bones and muscles of young children are more malleable than those of adults.

Many parents decide to purchase a convertible car seat which allows their infants to be rear-facing until they reach the maximum weight or height limit of the seat. This allows them to benefit from the advantages of a rear-facing car seat for much longer, and makes it more convenient for parents since they can easily move their child from the rear-facing position to the forward-facing position once their child is no longer in the position.

However that even when your child is old enough to switch to an forward-facing car seat, it's safer to keep them rear-facing for the longest time possible. From the point of view of crash tests, a child’s head is safer in a crash when they are facing backwards. This is because the whole body -- head, neck, and torso -- is cradled by the seat's back when they're facing in this direction.

Read the instruction manual of the manufacturer to determine how you can rotate your child's seat. They usually have the weight and height limit that you shouldn't exceed and also specific rules for things like the crotch buckle's position. These rules are designed to protect your child as they develop.

You should also consider whether your vehicle is equipped with tether anchors. If yes, ensure that the tether is correctly connected to the anchor points of your vehicle as per the instructions in the manual. Also, ensure that the shoulder straps of the harness of your child are at or below their shoulders, and not too low or high. This will affect how they are restrained during a crash.

You should also be aware that children are very different in size and age, so you should never base on when you should switch to forward-facing on some specific date on the calendar or when they've reached their legroom limit. A child may appear bigger in a rear-facing car seat but that doesn't mean it's safe to turn them around, since their bones and spine haven't fully developed yet.

It is recommended that you keep your child rear-facing until they reach one year old. some infant car seats have an integrated reminder to keep them there. This is because children under one don't have enough neck muscles to withstand a frontal impact that could cause serious spinal injuries.

Many infant car seats are not only safe, but also easy to use. They include bases that are connected to the car and snap in and out to allow you to carry your child from stroller to car or back again and often with a frame stroller as part of an overall travel system.
