Spanish layman's summary:
El estudio con modelos PIPER muestra que aumentar la reclinación del CRS incrementa las cargas espinales, mientras que posiciones más verticales las reducen. Los ángulos recomendados (30°–45° Rear-Facing y vertical Forward-Facing) siguen siendo los más seguros.
English layman's summary:
Study using PIPER child models shows that increasing CRS seatback recline raises spinal loads, while more upright angles reduce them. The recommended 30°–45° range for rear-facing and upright for forward-facing seats remains optimal for safety.
