Correct Placement of Child Carrier Babyseat
I saw a Volvo V series station wagon with the child in the backside of the rearseat....FACING THE BACK of the car. I'm not familiar with the layout of the car interiorwise but as I was driving alongside the car, I said to myself god forbid the car was to get rearended.....and most idiot accidents are generally from being reareded. The rear 2nd row was completely empty. Don't recall seeing a 3rd row, but the child carrier was behind the C pillar

There is no right or wrong answer to your question - as it depends on the seat.
The correct thing to do is only to use the seat in conjunction with the specifications and instructions of the manufacturer. If it is designed to be rear-facing then it should only ever be used in that manner - It should also only be used on a seat that is suitable. Not all child seats are suitable for all cars, or indeed for all seats in a particular car (e.g. a lot of seats should not be used in the centre of the rear bench seat, and no rear-facing baby seat should be used in the front if there is an active airbag there).

21 pounds or less the seat should be facing the rear if the seat is designed to face both directions. Over 21 pounds the seat can face forward. This has been identified as the safest position for newborns and most modern high end seats are designed to face both directions. Ours is going to be turned around this weekend so the little guy Sebastian can now finally see were we are going.
