It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child
in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem. In this case, the child sits in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and faces back-
wards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer-
vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a
rearward-facing child restraint system.
