Israeli law: rear-facing at least to 12 months; best practice: until the seat's rear-facing limit (usually 2–4 years).

every week · from 1d · until 2y

Always on

1. Install it in the back seat, never in front of an active airbag.
2. Harness at or below the shoulders when rear-facing; no bulky coats under the straps.
3. Get the installation checked (many kupot/municipalities run free checks).
