According to car accident statis- tics, the rear seats of a car are generally safer than the front seat: it is therefore recommend- ed to fi t the child car seat into the rear seats of the car. In particular, the central rear seat30 is the safest; in this case, it is recommended to fi t the child car seat into the central rear seat of the car. If the child car seat is fi tted in the front seat of the car, in order to ensure maximum safety, it is recommended to push the seat back as much as possible, bearing in mind the comfort of the passenger sitting in the seat directly behind it. If the car is equipped with a safety belt height adjuster, fi x it in the lowest position, then check that the car seat safety belt adjuster is either in a backward position with respect to the backrest of the car seat (or at least aligned to it)(see diag. 4).
