Correct answer

  • BA contramarcha, con las espalda hacia delanteRear-facing, with the back towards the front
Explanation

The best child restraint devices for minors are approved child seats. When the child is under 4, it is better to fit them rear-facing, with the child's back towards the front of the car; if the child is between 4 and 12, fit them facing forwards, like the other occupants.
