forward-facing seat

Travel seat ahead-looking

A forward-facing seat is positioned so the occupant faces the direction of travel.

The term appears most often in discussions of child car seats, where forward-facing models are appropriate only after children outgrow rear-facing seats: She switched to a forward-facing seat when her daughter turned two.

Also used for train and bus seating preferences.
