Rearfaced travelling
![]() | Why Rear-ward Faced?
RWF travelling is 5 times more safe than travelling FWF! The developement of the neck, muscles and skeleton is not at same level on a small baby compared to an adult or older child. |
How the child is protectedModern cars have strong protection areas - if you are an adult. When the child is travelling in a rear-facing seat, the head will be supported by the seat, saving the child's weak neck from the crash forces. | |
