Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: In a safety seat, with the back of the seat facing the front of the car.
A baby under one year old must travel in a safety seat installed with its back toward the front of the car, so the baby faces the rear. In a sudden stop or crash, the seat back takes the force and protects the baby's weak head and neck. Holding a baby on someone's knees is very dangerous, because no adult can hold a child in a crash, whatever their age.
