AnswerAccording to the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) baby should be rear facing until at least 1 year of age AND 20 lbs, although ideally for as long as it's permitted by the car seat manufacturer.
facing the backrest of the seat it is on
seat has to sit on seat with baby looking forward, not backward
well, yes, but it is lots better to face backwards because the seat belt can easily wrap around it. hope that's helpful! :) Also, if you want to get complicated--- According to the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) baby should be rear facing until at least 1 year of age AND 20 lbs, although ideally for as long as it's permitted by the car seat manufacturer.
The two main categories of baby and infant car seats are "rear-facing" and "front-facing". Rear facing seats attach to a seat belt at the bottom of the seat, underneath where the baby's feet would be. Front facing seats attach to a seat belt under where the baby's head would be.
as long as it is possible to have the seat face backwards it should face backwards. A child has a heavy head and a weak neck so if you should crash there is 90% less chance of death by neck injuries when facing backwards in a seat with support for the head.
yes you can as long as thier is a seat belt for the baby to be strapped in.
as long the baby is quiet
The rear facing seat is meant to go in the backseat of the car facing backward meaning the baby would be turned away from you. You can purchase a mirror that allows you to see the baby - they sell them at Babies R Us.
One it cannot possibly fall out of. Infant as well as toddler should be in a convertible car-seat rear -facing as long as possible about 30-3 lbs or when their head is one inch from top of the seat shell.
The rear seat is not designed to be removed. You can remove the center seat and slide the rear seat forward.
you can't flip the rear seat up. I believe the proper procedure would be to remove or loosen the rear seat using the bolts on the rear floor pan. They might have carpet flaps covering them. Carefully check the rear floor pan. **On an 02' liberty the tire jack is under the passenger rear seat. There is a knob on the front face. Simply unscrew the knob to remove the jack.**
