DYK: When a child is properly restrained rear-facing, the head and neck move together with the car seat, allowing forces in a crash to be spread across the shell of the car seat. This protects the child’s head, neck and torso and reduces the risk of neck and spine injuries.

This is so important! Just because a child can legally ride without a booster does not mean it's a safe choice
