A
rear-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
crash. Some infant seats come in two parts
--
the
base stays secured in the vehicle and the seat part
is removable.
