Our crash analyst and child seat technician Sergeant Wilson has given us some valuable content to pass on.
This image below is based on a good safe install of a child restraint. It is based on crash dynamics/physics and on statistics based on the safest position in vehicles.
The numbers represent the best placement for child restraints in order- so if 1 does not work, then the next safest option is 2 etc.
It also represent the age order of children - so if you have 2 children in restraints the youngest would go in 1, next oldest would go in 2 and so forth.
Sergeant Wilson has explained this in a clip if you would like further understanding as to how he has come to this evidence based conclusion https://youtu.be/ytaEPTOpWgw
