In which seat of the vehicle is it statistically safest to install a child restraint system (CRS)?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the rear central seat. By placing the seat in the center, the child is positioned as far away as possible from the side doors, significantly reducing the risk of injury in the event of a side impact, which is one of the most dangerous types of accidents. Important considerations: This recommendation is valid provided the central seat has a proper anchoring system (full seat belt or ISOFIX). If the central seat does not allow for safe installation, the next best option is the rear side seats. The front seat should be avoided whenever possible, as it is the area of highest risk and exposure in frontal collisions, in addition to legal restrictions on its use.
