What orientation is recommended for an approved child seat for a child under four, if the manufacturer permits it for their height and weight?

Correct answer

Rear-facing, within the manufacturer’s limits and instructions.

Rear-facing, following the manufacturer’s instructions and height and weight limits. Keep that orientation as long as the seat permits, including beyond four years if still suitable; turning four does not require turning the seat. The restraint must suit the child and be correctly installed. When a rear-facing seat is used in a permitted front seat, the front airbag must be deactivated.
