269. Baby
A baby is a very young child who requires particular protection when travelling in or near road traffic. Babies may be transported in cars, public transport, bicycles or other vehicles, subject to the safety rules that apply in each country.
When travelling by car, babies should be protected by an age- and size-appropriate child restraint system that is correctly installed and used according to the manufacturer's instructions and local traffic laws.

How should a baby travel in a car?
A baby should travel in an appropriate child restraint system suited to the child's size and installed correctly in the vehicle.
Can a rear-facing baby seat be placed in front of an active airbag?
No. A rear-facing child seat should not be placed in front of an active frontal airbag because deployment of the airbag can seriously injure the child.
Why do babies need special protection in traffic?
Babies are particularly vulnerable in a collision, so suitable child restraints, careful driving and safe handling around roads and vehicles are especially important.
