The difference between forward-facing and rear-facing car seat in a car crash

- At Taxibaby Co., we recommend that you keep your child in a rear-facing car seat for as long as possible. Young children are at greater risk for spinal cord injuries as their bones aren’t completely developed yet. This is especially true for infants, as their large heads are still quite heavy for their delicate necks to carry. Rear-facing seats support the neck and head of your child, and riding rear-facing for longer ensures the safety of your child from spinal cord injuries and crash incidents. Watch the video to compare the difference between forward-facing and rear-facing car seats in a collision at 50 km/h.

I don’t know why they won’t just say it. For example airbags are to stop Basilar skull fractures. So if the kid is facing forward they have no head and neck restraint which means the head will go forward. The brain is anchored to the spinal cord that’s in the torso. So the torso decels with the car, the head continues forward. The brain gets yanked into the base of the skull which will fracture the base of the skull or severe the spinal cord. In racing we use straps, hans, hybrids. I had a 175g crash in 1999 and fractured my skull. I survived and returned late 2000 with a early version of a head and neck restraint. But airbags in vehicles are meant to stop the head from straying too far from the torso. -- when you face a child rear facing it will significantly help but understand the head will still sling shot up the seat. So the key is don’t drive fast and be extremely aware. Because without a true containment seat and hybrid/Hans device there is no guarantee you will survive. Street cars cockpit intrusion is the number one issue at higher speeds.
Very valuable information!
I feel like pediatricians don’t really emphasize this
Exactly Because I'm here to see how children are actuality safe rear facing and it makes complete sense!
Not a single one has spoken to me about car safety!
The majority of them unfortunately just don't say or even don't know about it. Even a lot of people who work selling these itens don't know how important this is.
Pediatricians are not trained in car seat safety and neither are the nurses in hospitals
Why would a pediatrician have that information…Car seat safety is not medical knowledge and outside the scope of their training and practice expertise.
What if your child is sitting rear-facing and your car is stand still in a traffic jam and suddenly a moving vehicle hit your car from your rear?! seems the same risks are as forward-facing here?
They’re reclined back so again the whole body absorbs the impact and your also not reversing at speed so it’s less of an impact.
This exactly what I say

‼️To answer the rear collision question. Yes if a rear end accident happens the force may be reversed BUT you’re never going to be reversing at anywhere as much speed as you are travelling forward. Therefore there is no scenario where as much force will be implied in a rear end accident. Most likely both cars will be travelling forward. Or at worst you might be stationary, and the other car travelling forward. Therefore, yes the direction the child moves may be reversed, but it’s nowhere near the same force as you will see in most front on collisions (which may be two head on cars travelling at great speed). Making front on collisions far more dangerous. And therefore statistically baby/child is safer rear facing. You can’t have the perfect set up for every scenario. So you go with the most likely to be life threatening.
Umm why is the seatbelt totally on wrong? It’s so loose and that middle buckle is supposed to be up to the child’s chest!
First of all, it’s an animation the seatbelt isn’t loose or on wrong. Secondly, the straps stretch a lot during a collisions and that allows all the movement. Watch a crash test real footage and see for yourself. Center clips are made so that they break during a collision they do not keep the child contained in the case of an accident. Sorry you don’t want to accept the truth 🤷🏻♀️
No the buckle is at the crotch and they don't recommend chest straps or clips of any kind. I believe the only approved one is from britax.
@@bbbbb7813 the guidelines of my child’s car seat says to have the chest buckle up to the child’s chest, it even has a little picture on the buckle for reference
@@emerymagana9038 America is one of the only countries that require chest clips. This seems to be a video made in the UK or Australia, they don’t have chest clips there.
It's Norwegian, just google Trygg Trafikk that is at the end of the video@@laura-bertrand
Where is spelt?
No no no, you say they should rear face as long as possible or until they are 4 years old - I've just read something about a crash which involved two vehicles and inside one were two children, one child was 4 years old seated in a forward facing high back booster style of seat I believe and the other was 18 months old seated in an extended rear facing Swedish Plus tested Axkid car seat... unfortunately the 4 year old died and it seems their car seat was actually thrown out of the car but it's hard to tell from the photos whilst the child in the Axkid car seat was pretty much unharmed and the car seat remained in the car as it was tethered into the car with their tethering strap system for additional protection so their seats are essentially bolted down into the car using this tethering anchorage system.
This event was in Poland I think and it's depressing to know that so many parents are mislead and do not understand that rear facing is far better for a young child than forward facing as there's so much info out there but even baby shops give you the wrong information and there are still car seats on the market that say you can forward face from an early age etc which isn't great.
Please research before you buy, even if you have to trial several or look at high priced car seats, that extra consideration may save your child should the worst happen 😞
The latch system usually can’t use after 30-40 lbs. just the seatbelt. It could also have been installed a little loose.
That's so sad😢
But what if they are facing the rear and get hit fork the rear
Most of the fast car accidents are from the front.
They pad the shell of a car seat to absorb that power
The body continues to go in the way the car is travelling so it is still a lot safer
@@rosieduncan5010 if that was the case you could just face forward. Have you been rear ended before?
I’ve been asking this same question
What if you're hit from behind?...which is more likely
That’s what I’m saying!!
It’s still the same result, Impact is still spread more evenly across the body and child’s back into the seat, rather than the impact from behind propelling his body forward with only the neck and chest strap to absorb the force.
It shows that in the video, regardless
Yes they're body is supported and the impact will still cause foward movement first

But moms can’t TikTok their babies while driving. No can do sir.
