Why Extended Rear Facing is So Important
Вставка

- This video from one of our favourite car seat suppliers, BeSafe, demonstrates why we are so passionate about extended rear facing car seats.
Using a rear facing car seat can reduce a child's risk of death from a collision at 50mph from 40% to 8% compared to a forward facing one. This is due to the forces applied to a child's body are greatly reduced and more evenly spread across the back of the body rather than on the head and neck.

My daughter was born in June 2022 and is very tall. She’s still rear facing and will be for at least another 2 years.
This deserve more views
no because it copied ua-cam.com/video/Sg5i9YInU64/v-deo.html
yes
Wow. Very helpful.
This is why I always sit rear facing when I drive. Thanks to this practice I have survived over 50 crashes
Tom Scott has already investigated the practicalities of driving while facing backwards.

How can you drive while sitting rear facing
@@toca_slay_queen its a joke ☠☠
I just drive backwards, because every vehicle since 2018 is equipped with a rear view camera it's easier than ever. Of course not a lot of gear choices but the speed is adequate at the redline.
😂😂😂😂
Wow thank you!
Besafe Stretch (135 cm and 36 kg), Axkid Minikid 3 (135 cm and 36 kg) or Klippan Opti 129 (135 cm and 32 kg) should be every parents choice for their precious ones. Long rear facing car seats to at least 7 years old. The best for our children.
Rather broken legs than broken neck with death or paralysis as outcome if the accident is a fact. It's much safer for adults also to sit rear facing. But hard to drive that way. ;-)
Here in Sweden we have less death among young children than in other countries because we don't turn our children. The death in young children we have is because the parents keep the kids forward facing or not belted at all.
Also Axkid Move, we have it. It's rear facing until 25kg or about 6-7 years 😊
In the US most car seats can rear face until 40lbs (18kg) which is usually 3-4 years old. Some of the very expensive seats can go up to 50lbs rear facing but for most kids 40lbs is enough especially if your child is small for their age.
Nice
My question is why do so many parents buy front facing car seats? Additionally why donthe companies persist with front facing seats? Surly the goal is to have the best car seat for safety?
GOOD
What about in a rear end collision? Isn't the risk then greater with rear facing seat if it is a rear end collision?
Hi Chris, Your point has been brought up many times and I'm glad I can answer. In general rear bumps tend to be no where near as significant as a front end/head on collision due to a number of factors such as from crumple zones, etc.
Albeit still pretty awful to be involved in any crash the chances of being seriously hurt in a rear end collision are nowhere near as great as a front end, hence the focus on rear facing for younger travellers!
Hi Chris..In the rear end collision, I think, the relative speed is smaller and hence the impact will be lesser. Btw I am not technically sound to tell this.
The force of inertia on a rear collision, if the scenario you mean is the car being hit isn’t in movement already, it will still be less force than any frontal impact.
Why? The inertia and G forces of going 0 moh to 15-20 mph in less than a second aren’t nothing compared to going 45/60/70 mph to 0 in less than a second.
In conclusion, no crash is good, no impact can be 100 guaranteed of no injuries. But if you prepared for the worst scenario rather than the mild ones , you will have a greater chance of survival.
Now that you know this, how safe do you feel letting kids ride school buses - how they have been doing for the past 20 years ?
Researchers already looked into it: ua-cam.com/video/QCrVSRIbfaY/v-deo.htmlsi=4io1mdYEFqxL7ZpK
Hello, I see replies to rear end collisions are not at the same speed. In the study, the car is rear ending someone else or something so I think that same speed still needs to be a factor in being rear ended. Typically a person can control their driving habits to prevent rear ending another vehicle, but we cannot control others driving into us. I'm not saying front facing is better than rear ended, rather the same factors need to be applied for all types of accidents.
1. Children 12 and under can SUFFOCATE from the airbag. 2. They can
DIE in REAR AND FORWARD FACING COLLISIONS. 3. You never know what will happen to your child. 4. Check the chart
Rear Facing: Infant - 4 years
Forward Facing: 5 years - 8 years
Booster Seat: 8 years - 10 years
Regular Seat: 10 - Adult
5. Keep your kids in the BACK Seat until the age of 13

You can rear face a child safely for as long as they fit properly in a rear facing seat.
Air bags need to be turned off to rear face in the front of a car. If this is done then it is completely safe to RF in the front of a vehicle.
@@rhiannonthorne6353 You still should NEVER put a rear facing car seat in the front seat
@@toca_slay_queen where did you get this information from? Its not true. It is perfectly safe to rear face in the front seat with the air bag turned off. ETA As long as the vehicle handbook says you can have a seat in the front, and you can get a safe fit from the car seat.
@@rhiannonthorne6353 It's true. But you can believe what you want to believe but I am just stating the facts
@@toca_slay_queenno its not true. Your information source is wrong or outdated. Its not letting me post a link, but there is plenty of information out there about how rf is safe to do in the front passenger seat. Rear facing toddlers have a blog about it. They are a very knowledgeable and reliable page about car seat safety. There are plenty more out there.
Need airbag for baby and kids safety?
Only side curtain airbag with child car seat.
Do you those warning signs shield covers on your car. Children 12 and under can SUFFOCATE from the airbag.
😇😇😇🙂
Car seat safety IS NOT A PARENTING CHOICE!! Keep your 3yr old REAR FACING you don’t have a ‘big child’ hell most kids RF until 4-5yrs old.. your 1yr old could DIE FF in a collision.. a 2yr old FF child JUST DIED yesterday in my city (Lexington Kentucky) because he was FORWARD FACING AND NOT PROPERLY BUCKLED! His clip was on his stomach and his straps were loose, he was ejected and killed INSTANTLY.
Okay buying a rear facing car seat now damn. The fact that you have the same name as my wife is hilarious.
@@hondaciviccrew7603 lmao
um it’s unsafe for a kid past a certain height and weight to RF!!!! or forward face
There’s even a weight limit for booster seats! You have to keep an eye on those limits.
I work with a 3 1/2 year old who is able to rear face but many of them aren’t. He just happens to be skinny and still meet height requirements for it. the 5 year old has now outgrown the height requirement for many five point harness seats. he’s 48 inches.
@@hannahscott6604 you get rearfacing seats up to 36kg and 125cm, I would love to see a 3 year old that is bigger than that! I have a «big» 4 year old, she is no wear near the limit of her seat.
🥺🥺😭😭😢😢🥶
Wow that is scary.
Aren't most accidents from being rearended though? If you are rearended the child would still go forward.
ua-cam.com/video/QCrVSRIbfaY/v-deo.htmlsi=4io1mdYEFqxL7ZpK
Only if you were reversing, otherwise the car would still move in a forwards direction.
But what if you're rear-ended?!?! Ive never rear ended anyone in my life but ive been in 3 rear end accidents myself (one being critical) and i needed a year of therapy
I think it's quite obvious to most, but rear ended crashes 99% of the time are shunts, bumps and in most circumstances there is significantly less damage being caused. Head on and front collisions are the most dangerous (by orders of magnitude). I advise you to do a bit of research on both and you will see for yourself and hopefully understand why rear facing is a much safer option.
Kids are doing from forward and rare facing, so... whatever....
Yes. But it is 5 times safer to rear face. These are facts.
greetings karens.
My wife keeps seeing these "articles" and thinks they are correct in all circumstances. Can you please put an update that explains that in a rear ended crash that a rear facing car seat will cause all the problems to your child that the video shows in the forward facing car seat. Example, in your video you could assume they hit a similar car that is stationary while they were running 50 km/h. If you were stationary and a similar car (with driver texting or looking at facebook) rear ends you at 50 km/h then wouldn't a rear facing car seat make the child's body/ head do the same thing your video shows to the forward facing car seat? And then being rearended in a similar situation with rear facing would be more dangerous/deadly then forward facing?
No completely untrue basics laws of physics. The only way this would be that case is if a car is travelling backwards ie reversing at 50mph then rear ended someone. It’s based on the direction of car travelling force is against the car. As cars travel forward so to counteract the force which is going forward you REAR FACE. Why do you think newborns are rear faced then if it’s more dangerous?
I just saw a news report where they actually tested that very theory (ie, that a rear ended crash would be more damaging to rear facing children). They found that wasn't the case and the kids were ok. I think it was CBS News, I don't remember exactly, but you might be able to find it on YT :)
EXACTLY MY POINT!! 👌👌
Here is that CBS video mentioned @sitcomchristian6886 that shows research on rear-ended collisions: ua-cam.com/video/QCrVSRIbfaY/v-deo.htmlsi=4io1mdYEFqxL7ZpK
You should listen to your wife. The front crashes are more serious and your theory has been disproven
You don’t want to do this if they’re too tall
that’s not true. broken legs are better than broken necks
@@theisabelmiller1053 I agree with you!
Actually, if a child is too tall rear facing babies could be worse, but rear 99% of the time is better.
@@shekkie no, that is untrue. A child is allowed to stay RF as longs as they are within the allowed limits of their seat. For example: Using the popular Graco 4Ever seat sold in the USA. The weight, height, and age limits for the 4Ever are as follows: Rear Facing: 4 - 40 lbs (1.8 - 18 kg) 18 - 43″ (46 - 110 cm) or when the top of the child's head is less than 1″ (2.5 cm) below the headrest adjustment handle (whichever comes first). You need to consult the car seats manual to find this info.
@theisabelmiller1053 actually rear facing doesn't increase the chance of legs breaking.
I always sat front facing because it's common sense
That’s what you got from this video?
You were in danger
