How is it advisable to position the approved child restraint seat when the child is under 4 years old?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure the **safety of children under 4 years old** in a vehicle, it is advisable to place the approved child restraint seat **rear-facing**, meaning with the child's back towards the front of the vehicle. This position is safer because, in the event of an accident, it better protects the child's head, neck, and spine, which are particularly vulnerable parts of the body at that age.
- **Rear-facing placement**: This orientation allows the impact forces to be distributed more evenly along the child's back, reducing the risk of serious injuries.
- **Central rear seat**: Additionally, it is recommended to place the child seat in the central rear seat, as it is the safest place in the event of a side collision.
It is important to ensure that the child seat is properly adjusted and has passed all quality tests to guarantee its effectiveness in protecting the child.
