5 times safer with rear-facing.
Did you know that your child is up to five times safer in a rear-facing car seat than in a forward-facing car seat? This is primarily due to their superior protection of the head, neck, and spine in the event of a collision. These crucial areas are particularly vulnerable in children due to their disproportionate head-to-body ratio and underdeveloped neck structure. The unique design of rear-facing seats distributes the crash forces over a larger area, minimizing the impact on the child's neck. In contrast, forward-facing seats expose the neck to significant tension during collisions, increasing the risk of injury, including internal decapitation. Understanding these factors of children’s anatomy and vulnerabilities is key to safeguarding them on the road.
Understanding the proportions.
Head and body in relation:
- 1 year | 25 %
- 3 year | 18 %
- 6 year | 16 %
- 10 year | 11 %
- Adult | 6 %
How long can a child be in a rear-facing car seat?
The general recommendations say that children should travel rear-facing up to a minimum age of 4 years. At Axkid, our goal is that they travel rear-facing up to the age of 6-7, for maximum safety.
The toughest test in the world.
The Plus Test is a Swedish crash test that sets an exceptional standard for car seat safety. Unlike other tests, it demands excellence in handling high-speed crashes, shorter braking distances. The test also uses extreme sensitive neck sensors making it the ultimate challenge for any car seat manufacturer.
