Because a babys head is proportionally much larger and heavier WRT the body than an adult. As most collisions include the vehicle impacting something from the front, throwing the passengers forward a rear-facing seat will offer more support for the fragile neck

The open end of the balloon must face backwards because when air is released from the balloon, it creates propulsion in the opposite direction, which propels the car forward.

Can you explain to me why a negative times a negative equal a positive?
Let's say that facing East is facing the positive direction, so facing west is the negative direction. We'll just say it's 1 or -1. Let's also say that walking forward is walking positively, and walking backwards is walking negatively. So, 10 is ten steps forward, and -10 is ten steps backwards. If you face West (-1), and walk ten step backwards (times -10), then you've moved ten steps East (10). That's -1 x -10 = 10.

Why is the American flag backwards on soldiers shoulders?
The flag is not really 'backwards' on their shoulders, the flag is 'flying' forward as they move forward. Note also it is only worn on the right shoulder. "The U.S. flag embroidered insignia is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flags' own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observers right and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward." per military code.
Is it ok for the baby to be facing backwards?
My son was facing backwards when I was pregnant. It is safe for delivery, but unfortunately, it was intense back labor, and his shoulders were caught up on my pelvic bone, causing me to have a c-section after 7 hours of labor. It is more common for babies to be facing backwards or back/side, presumably the baby's back is to your front. This is also much easier when you are in labor. I am not sure why the previous answerer had such a hard time but it was not because the baby was facing backwards.
