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.
