Welcome to TODDLER´s english page!
Due to our cooperation with websites from the UK we would like to give You a chance to get information, not written in Swedish.
"In Sweden the authorities have campaigned for 25 years for children in cars to sit in special rearward-facing seats. The reason is that we want to avoid injuries to the head and neck region. The child's head is very heavy compared with the rest of the body. A nine-month-old baby's head comprises 25% of its total body weight, while in an adult the head weighs 6%. In a collision, the child's neck is subjected to a proportionally higher strain. In a rearward-facing seat, the force of a collision is distributed optimally over the child's head and back. Over a million rearward-facing seats are in use in Sweden, and we do not know of any cases where a child in a rearward-facing car seat has been seriously injured in a frontal collision. Swedish accident research has shown that rearward facing children's car seats reduce serious injuries by 92%, while the forward-facing seats only reduce injury by 60%. In the last few years the rest of Europe has also become aware of this. A number of cases are known in which children have been totally paralysed as a result of neck injuries while using forward-facing seats."
