August 2012 Moms

People.

Please do not turn your one year olds forward facing.

Don't do it.

DO NOT.

If you need information on extended rear facing, check the AAP website or the NHTSA website or Car Seats for the Littles on Facebook. There is so much information and so many statistics out there in favor of rear facing.

Listen to me!

Kthanx.

    Your child...internal decapitation. 

    But you know, they might have LEG problems later in life.

  • But, DD won't look good in heels if I RF when her feet touch the seat!

  • A FF baby most likely would not have survived the auto accident that nearly killed my DH. If I had my way Lila would RF until she no longer needs to be in a carseat.

  • Every time I see a young child forward facing I die a little inside. Please rear face!



    Ya know what makes me die inside even more? Knowing that people who do this are procreating and going to do it again.



    My mom -- but I turned you around in your car seat and you're fine. So sick of hearing that excuse.

    Or the we didn't even have car seats when you were born. We carried babies home on our laps.
    DD1 was turned at 1. Research is a wonderful thing. Sometimes it comes leaps and bounds in a short time.

  • It's two thousand fucking thirteen. It floors me people don't know recommendations for car seat safety.

  • Jayson is SO happy RF. He can see out kf the windows still, and mostly makes faces at himself in the mirror he has back there. (My OMGISMYKIDSTILLALIVE mirror.) I don't see the big rush to FF.

  • We have absolutely no plans on turning DD before 2.  Once she turns 2 we'll see how it's going.  I watched one of the videos that someone on the September '12 board posted and it just completely reinforces our decision.  After watching that there is absolutely no way we would consider turning her any time soon.  I don't care what the law says.
    I was watching those videos also.  Anyone who would consider FF before 2 needs to watch them ASAP!

  • I plan on keeping Mina rear facing as long as possible. I drive a Beetle and in order to put her in her carseat I have to climb in the backseat with her. It is horribly inconvenient but SHE is safe and that is what matters.

  • I'm with LD. I drive a Cruze that I bought a month before I knew I was pregnant and it's terribly difficult to maneuver her and I in the car seat. We do what ever we have to do to keep the little ones safe. Her safety is my responsibility.
