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.

By california law When can you face an infant forward in a car seat?

In California, an infant can face forward in a car seat when they are at least 2 years old and weigh a minimum of 40 pounds, or when they exceed the height or weight limit set by the car seat manufacturer. However, it's recommended to keep children in a rear-facing position for as long as possible, typically until they reach the maximum height or weight limit of the rear-facing seat, as this is safer for their developing bodies. Always refer to the specific car seat instructions and California's safety guidelines for the best practices.


Why is a backward facing car seat safer for an infant than a seat that faces forward during a collision or abrupt stop?

Its safer for the seat to be facing backwards, because during a collision or an abrupt stop the infant would not be able to slip out of the car seat, and also so the infant will not choke on the car seat's seat belt. It is also safer to have an infant/child to be sitting in the back seat and not in the front passenger seat until the recommended age.

Can you install an infant car-seat in the middle seat of your 1999 Hyundai Accent GS?

As long as there is a seat belt in the middle then yes. The best place to put your infant is in the middle in the back seat,this is the safest spot in a car. your infant "must" be in a rear faceing car seat. This means the child should be looking out the rear window and not the front.
