Update: It appears that, though the new information about
improved safety with extended rear-facing was made available in an AAP
publication, and the information was directed at parents, the group is
not updating their official recommendation right now. In an email to
child passenger safety advocates, an AAP representative said, "A Parent
Plus box in the April 2009 issue of AAP News appears to contain a
revised AAP recommendation on how long babies and young children should
ride rear-facing. However, Parent Plus boxes and AAP News articles do
not constitute AAP policy." The email also says "AAP's recommendation
has not changed at this time."
