Where is the safest place to secure a rear-facing infant safety seat?

The back seat is the safest place for a rear-facing infant seat. Being in the rear keeps the infant away from the impact zone of a frontal crash, and placing the seat in the center rear position offers the greatest protection because it’s farthest from potential side impacts and away from active airbags. Ensure the seat is properly installed at the correct recline angle and secured with the vehicle belt or LATCH, and avoid placing a rear-facing seat in the front seat if the passenger airbag could deploy.
