I was referring to the safety aspect in the case of a head-on collision. All other parameters being equal, is it safer to be front facing or back facing?

Here you can see the pregnant woman sits on an additional pad, and the lap-belt is held down by a hook on that pad, preventing the belt from going across the stomach:
