 Rearward-facing baby capsule |
Children up to 6 months old must use an approved rearward-facing infant restraint and must not travel in the front seat of a vehicle that has two or more rows of seats.
The restraint must be properly installed and adjusted to fit the child's body.
A rearward-facing infant restraint allows a child to lie down and, in a crash, gives support and protection to the head and neck - the most vulnerable parts of a child’s body.
A rearward-facing restraint can be fitted to a vehicle with only one row of seats provided it does not have an airbag in that position and a child restraint anchorage point is available.
