Why can’t I use a rear- facing baby seat in a seat protected by an active frontal airbag?

Air-bags are powerful safety devices. A rear-facing baby seat could be hit by a frontal air-bag if it deployed and could be thrown up and towards the rear of the vehicle. This means that the baby seat and child could be completely unrestrained during a crash.
