Question for a friend

A neighbor just messaged me on facebook asking me a question. Her daycare lady has her own boys in those captains chairs that can face backward, thinking that it is as good as rearfacing? I'm not sure what seats they are in.

The car seat manual will say she can't install the car seats on seats facing the rear. I think her van manual will also say that those seats are to face forward when driving.

Right, neither the child restraint nor the vehicle allow for child restraints to be installed on those seats when they're facing backwards. Theoretically for a child large enough to be out of a booster, or for an adult, it might be safer. For kids in car seats, though, they need to be installed on forward-facing vehicle seats.
