children should travel in the rear
seats of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to
the age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2. * The rules for carrying children are

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children

facing" position both in the front
and in the rear. "Forwards-facing"
