Position the baby in the vehicle - Society of pediatricians in the United States (American Academy of Pediatrics) has recently suggested that a newborn or a 2-year-old has not been placed in special seats with the rear facing position if there is in the vehicle.
The aim is to protect the toddler from head injuries, neck and spine when the vehicle they were riding crashed.
But the proposal sparked a lively protest on the Internet.
"Is there among researchers who have a toddler? Have they tried to soothe infants aged 18 months who are placed in the basket toward the back," wrote one on the Internet, as reported by the Washington Post.
"It's not all aja konyol.Kenapa infant secured in a hot air balloon," he said. Rear facing infant seat is made specifically to measure child weight 45 pounds (about 22.5 kg) in the U.S..
Many parents complained that the toddler becomes agitated because he was lying on the seat facing the rear. That's according to the parents' drive to disturb their concentration. They also worry the little leg flexed by the seat facing the rear.
"We admit that we are inadequate in explaining to parents that their toddler should be placed toward the back," said Dennis Durbin, a doctor who led the team in delivering the recommendations in the American Academy of Pediatrics.Rekomendasi for rear facing is not so in the U.S. regulations.
The child safety experts said they had long ago knew that rear facing is the safest position, even for all ages.
The study, published in the medical journal Injury Prevention found that children aged less than 2 years of 75 percent more likely to have been killed or badly injured in a forward facing position during vehicle accidents.
According to experts, facing the rear for Toddlers under 2 years are important because they are relatively heavy head and neck and spine are not yet firmly established.
In the event of an accident and they were facing the front, the baby's head can be pushed forward and can injure the neck or spine. If toward the rear, a special chair that will protect the head and neck, keeping the head and neck aligned. Power collision was channeled through the body. Risk if the legs bent toward the back, as fears of the parents, certainly lighter than the risk of head injury, experts say.
"In my opinion it's just a chair design problem. There should be a balance between realistic design with comfortable feeling in children," said Ronald Medford, officials at the U.S. traffic safety agency (NHTSA).
