Rear facing car seats for babies and children up to 125cm 5-6 years

Choose to transport the rear facing car seat as it is 73% safer. This sense reduces the risk of injury to the spine and neck by up to 73% in the event of an accident.

The important thing here is to value our responsibility, knowing that the Nordic tests show that in the event of a slight or severe impact, placing the seat facing the road is of Vital Importance and avoids disastrous consequences.

Here you can see the best rear facing car seats.

Reversing car seats, why are they safer?

A child in reverse is up to 73% more likely to be NOT killed and NOT seriously injured than a child traveling in the forward direction.

Incredible forces are produced in a frontal impact and the car seat shell supports the movement and retains the head and neck, thus distributing the forces over the entire backrest area of ​​the car seat, with which we can avoid injuries that can be very serious or even death.

This is more than enough to carry a chair in the opposite direction of the march.
Unfortunately, it is not mandatory to take children in reverse until they are four years old, so it is up to parents to be aware of using this type of car seat.

Regulations in force for rear-facing infant and child car seats.

1-  ECE 44/04
2-  R129 (in its i-Size section)
3-  Plus Test

Ece 44/04: The oldest of the current regulations is in which the first reverse car seats began to be manufactured, today almost all brands still continue to manufacture them, since they are chairs that can be cheaper because they do not have them. Higher standards, but they perfectly fulfill the task of guaranteeing very good safety. They are governed for use by age and weight.

Any rear-facing car seat with ECE 44/04 regulations is immensely safer than another in the direction of travel with i-Size regulations.

R129 i-Size: It facilitates the classification according to the height criterion, instead of taking the child's weight as a reference. It incorporates a new side impact test.

Improves compatibility: i-Size child safety seats fit in every position in the car. A special label indicates compatibility with each seat on certified vehicles.

Car seats with i-Size regulations have been tested and approved with more demanding and efficient tests than regulations 44/04, in addition to an exhaustive review of the composition of the materials and colors of the upholstery so that they do not include any component that It may be harmful to the baby or child for their skin.

The i-Size homologation allows the use of car seats up to 105cm in height, since it is governed by height, although age and weight are indicative, we must take them into account to start or end the use of car seats. i-Size car.

Plus Test: It is a rule of Swedish origin, which tries to reduce injuries in the event of an accident, for this all chairs that pass this test must always travel in the opposite direction from the beginning of use to the end.

Chairs that have the Plus Test standard pass more demanding tests in that acceleration is greater and the cervical load limits are set at 1220 Newtons, this load level is below the established force limit from which a child would suffer severe injuries.

Unlike the European regulation ECE R44 / 04 that measures the accelerations of the thorax and head, Plus Test also measures the neck. I-Size if it measures the acceleration of the neck, but does not establish maximum force limits that guarantee safety.

The Plus Test certifies that the car seat that exceeds it generates a cervical load always below the limit, guaranteeing the safety of children.

In addition to the force limits, they also perform the tests in more demanding conditions, reducing the braking distance, and consequently generating greater acceleration.

Parents are looking for more rear-facing car seats every day, aware of the danger their children run in forward-facing devices (IRS).
