In an interview, Jennifer Saxton, founder of Tot Squad, she said,

“It is 5 times safer to put the car seat backwards because the head and neck on the child is not yet fully developed which may lead to severe injuries or death in cases of car accidents.”

The American Academy of Pediatrics advised parents to keep child seats facing backwards until the age of 2 or until the child reached the maximum height and weight of the seat.
