Suitable child restraint systems for the transport
of children
Information on the advantage of a rearward-facing
child restraint system
Transport a baby in a suitable rearward-facing
child restraint system only. It is also preferable to
transport a small child in a suitable rearward-
facing child restraint system. In this case, the
child sits in the opposite direction to the direction
of travel and faces backwards.
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.
