When you're driving anywhere with your child, you want to make sure they are as safe as possible. Did you know that they are 75% less likely to be killed or injured in a crash when secured in a rear-facing seat?
According to trauma surgeon Dr. Michael Nance, infant's heads are the heaviest part of their body. Combined with a weak neck, they are unable to withstand the shock of a crash that throws their head forward.
A rear-facing seat support's head, neck, and spine, preventing serious injury.
Based on recent studies, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends rear facing seats for all children under the age of two. Keep in mind that two years is a minimum recommendation -- as long as the child is within the weight capacity of the seat, they can remain rear facing.
