facing infant restraint (B) positions an infant
to face the rear of the vehicle. Rear
-
facing infant
restraints are designed for infants of up to about
20 lbs. (9 kg) and about one year of age. This type
of restraint faces the rear so that the infant’s head,
neck and body can have the support they need
in a frontal crash. Some infant seats come in
two parts
--
the base stays secured in the vehicle
and the seat part is removable.
