I currently have my 2 yr old in a besafe izi combi isofix seat . I still regularly research ERF as im due another baby and find it an interesting subject . However, I'm now confused about a few things .....
One of the threads on here mentions a website for an Essex car safety site with info from experts as to whether rear facing is safer ... I read this article and im now questioning if rear facing is actually safer in a rear end or side impact collision... Can anyone clarify?
In a rear facing seat, where are the straps supposed to sit? The manufacturer instructions say shoulder height, but a few people mention the straps should be just below the shoulders ? I thought it was unsafe to have the straps coming up from lower than the shoulder?
There seems to be some confusion as to whether the passenger seat in front should be touching the rear facing seat ... The instructions say to have the izi braced against the passenger seat - the same for my two way elite . Can anyone advise how theirs is fitted?
Thanks .
