that objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. In a front end collision, the car decelerates rapidly, causing the baby to move forward due to inertia. If the car seat is facing the rear, the force of the collision is distributed evenly across the baby's body, reducing the risk of injury to their fragile neck and spine. Additionally, rear-facing car seats provide more support for the baby's head and neck, which are not fully developed and more susceptible to injury in a crash.
