A forward-facing child is also more likely to land their head on the dashboard or window in the event of an accident. Depending on the nature of the crash and speed at which the vehicle is traveling the head may be pulled back against the seat and could fracture the skull or spinal cord.

Current safety standards require kids to remain rear-facing until they weigh 20 pounds and one year old. This is because younger kids don't have the neck strength to withstand the force in a head-on collision which is often the most serious type of accident in which automobiles are involved.
