Correct answer

  • CA contramarcha, con la espalda hacia delanteRear-facing, with the baby's back towards the front of the car
Explanation

It is advisable to keep the baby rear-facing for as long as possible: in a frontal crash the back of the seat spreads the force over the whole back and protects the neck, which is very fragile at that age. Approved i-Size seats must be rear-facing until at least 15 months.
