The legal requirement for car seats need to be installed according to the manufacturers specifications. This differs depending on the model.
Any kid under a year, or a certain weight, needs to be in a rear facing model.

It is safest for a baby to stay rear-facing until at least 1 year old, at least 22 lbs (10 kg) and walking.

Keep your child in a forward facing seat correct for his height and weight until he is at least 40 lbs (18 kg) or until he is at least 6 years old.
