when can baby face forward in car seat
In a rear-facing car seat, the chance of injuries to the arms and legs in a crash is less than 1 in 10,000.. So it's still the safest position, even for kids who look constricted in a rear-facing seat. As long as kids are within the height and weight limits of the seat, they're most likely quite comfortable, too. Many rear-facing car seats now accommodate kids who weigh 40, 45, or even 50 pounds, and are up to 49 inches tall.
