In what position is it advisable to place an approved baby seat?
Traffic safety: Transported persons and cargo
Explanation
To ensure the **safety of young children** in the car, it is essential to use an appropriate **child restraint system**. These systems are designed to protect children who are less than 135 centimeters tall and must be adapted to their height and weight.
- **Rear-facing position:** The safest position to install a baby's seat is **rear-facing**, meaning with the child's back towards the front of the vehicle. This orientation is safer because, in the event of an accident, the impact is better distributed along the child's back, reducing the risk of serious injuries.
- **Avoid the airbag:** The child seat should not be installed in a seat with an airbag in front, as its deployment could be dangerous for the child.
- **Central rear seat:** It is advisable to place the child seat in the central rear seat, as this position offers greater protection in the event of side collisions.
By following these recommendations, the child's safety during the journey is maximized.
