New knowledge tells that all children under 3 years old should travel rearfacing. Crash studies done by ADAC and the International Consumer Organization, ICRT Show 5 times higher risk for severe injury in the neck of children by forward- facing seats compared with rearfacing seats. Practical experience from Scandinavia also points out that the seatshell will protect the child from being injured from smashing into front seats or other fragments. Furthermore there will not be any injuries due to belt intrusion in the child´s body.
Studies from really life accidents done by Volvo show that rearfacing seats are 5 times safer than forwardfacing seats.

The head of a 1 year-old child represents 25% of body weight and due to a frontal impact in forward position, the head will “shoot” forward with tremendous energy. Neck loads up to 300 kg are typically measured using our crash dummies at an impact speed of 50 km/h. Medical specialists recommend a maximum of. 130 kg. When using rear facing seats, neck loads are typically under 8o kg.

When using forward facing seats, there are 3 high risk issues!
- Neck injuries due to neck load, which can lead to paralysis or death.
- Skull and face injuries due to flying debris in seating area.
- Injuries to inner organs due to seatbelt intrusion, which can be fatal.

Crash studies done by ICRT and ADAC on a huge number of child seats, are showing that head and neck injuries are 5 times less likely when using rear facing seat. Studies of real life accidents done by Volvo and insurance companies show that children in rear facing seats are 5 x times safer than those in forward facing seats.
The study covered 13 000 accidents, of which 800 with children as passengers in the age of 0-4 years.
The risk of severe injuries by forward facing versus rear facing seats.
This shows that rear facing seat use is 5 times safer than forward facing seats.
As long as possible – at least to 2 ½ year. 30 years practical experience with rear facing seats has shown that rear facing seats can be used without problem until the child is 3 years old. In some cars the space for the legs is the limiting factor.
