safety 1st car seat convertible
Did you know that this is better for your baby? Even some Doctors arent aware yet…?
I recently asked a question about convertible carseats and wanted to know how many of you are aware that “2 is the new 1″ for rear facing. For the safety of your little ones you should peek at this article written by some of the best Childrens Doctors in the world.
http://www.seattlechildrens.org/seattle-mama-doc/2-is-the-new-1-rear-facing-car-seats-until-at-least-age-2/
It actually says in ther that you can keep them rear facing until about 4 or older, broken legs are better than a dead child, to put it bluntly.
I was just asking if you were aware of the fact.
If a child is never “allowed” to face forward then would not keeping them rear facing never be a problem? If they know no different? Just sayin’
K ♥ Rear facing bench seats! What a fantastic idea! That would be great!
The AAP recommends keeping children rear facing until AT LEAST age 2…but longer is better. I plan to keep my daughter rear facing until around age 4. Right now she’s 17 1/2 months, 28 lbs. and HAPPILY rear facing in a Britax Marathon CS. Plan to buy a Sunshine Kids Radian 80 in a few years to get more rear facing use, and to be able to use the 5 point harness until at least age 7. Extended harnessing is just as important, that is past the 4 year mark.
Pictures of kids rear facing beyond 1 year and 20 lbs.

EDIT: Angela – Maybe you turned out alright because you never got into a bad car accident, ever thought of that? What if you got into a bad accident with your neice and nephew and they got killed? How would you ever live with your descision? A little boy was killed in a pretty minor car accident a few months ago, right down the street from my house. He was 3 years old and only buckled in with the vehicle seat belt. He was KILLED in that crash!! Do you realize that if that little boy had been in a 5 point harness he would most likely be alive today!! How do you “not belive” in car seats, you might as well stamp “i’m an idiot” on your forehead! If i were your neice and nephews mom, i would NEVER allow you to drive my kids anywhere!!! I hope for the sake of those poor kids that someone doesn’t hit you someday and you aren’t in a car accident!
EDIT to what K said- Actually, the leg thing isn’t an issue. There haven’t even been any reported cases of broken legs due to rear facing, people usually just say it “broken legs are better then a broken neck” but the broken neck HAS been reported. So they are just saying, IF by chance the legs get broken, it’s easier to fix. Plus, a lot of kids truely don’t mind riding rear facing, it just doens’t bother them. My neice rode forward facing since extended rear facing wasn’t talked about 5-6 years ago. She would cross her legs in the car seat anyway or pull them up while napping in her seat. She did that until close to 4 years old. So it just doesn’t bother them to have scrunched legs, and they don’t seem to mind that mom faces forwards and they face backwards, it’s all they know. I know i could have just explained “you’re safer that way” and my neice would have been fine rear facing. That’s what i said to her when she rode in a 5 point harness past 4 years old. Never had a complaint out of her, she’d get in and buckle herself in to perfection, complete with “i’m pulling the buckle to my armpits” lol. So sometimes what adults “think” children are going to resist, they don’t. Personally, walking just isn’t an option for us, and as a parent i want to do the safest thing for my child “just in case.”
