Why Rearward Facing Is Safer For Your Child

Why rear-facing travel?

As parents we all want the safest option for our children. Despite Australian Law where parents are legally able to turn their children's car seat to forward facing at six months, we at Maxi-Cosi recommend keeping your child rearward facing up to 30 months (or as close to that as possible) as there are studies that show that it is far safer to keep them rear facing for longer.

Why facing backwards is better

In an accident, a rear-facing car seat reduces impact on a baby’s vulnerable head and neck. That’s why it’s safer to keep using a rear facing seat – even when your child outgrows his baby car seat.

I used to hear about accidents happening all the time and I used to just think it will never happen to me but it did and life changed forever.”

Maxi-Cosi Introduced The First Baby Car Seat In Europe

Our brand was born in the Netherlands in 1984. At that time, there were very few ways to travel with your children safely in the car. That all changed in 1984 when Maxi-Cosi introduced the first baby car seat in Europe. It was simply a revolution. We've come a long way since then. Maxi-Cosi has become the generic name for the entire baby car seat category in Europe.
