Rear-facing kids are 5 times safer than those riding forward-facing.
All children who are within the rear-facing height and weight limits for their converticle car seats, no matter what their age--but certainly all infants and toddlers under 2.
In the center of the back seat. The center is 43% safer than the side because you cannot take a direct hit if you are sitting in the center.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids "should continue to ride rear-facing in a convertible car seat for as long as possible," which means till they are too tall or too heavy for their child safety seat. Likewise, NHTSA recomends "Your child should remain in a rear-facing car seat until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer."
Too Tall: If head is within one inch of the top of the child safety seat.
Too Heavy: If child is 30 or 35 pounds--it depends on which seat you have.
