Don't Be A Dummy! Do Your Research!

You are the #1 advocate for your child(ren). Do your research before you turn them forward facing in their car seat!! I cringe every time I see someone who has turned their baby too soon.

Although the "law" is one year AND twenty pounds, that is NOT the safest option. The longer your baby rear faces, the safer they will be!

People give so many lame reasons for turning their babies around. For example:

* They are much more content when they can see what is going on around them.

* I don't like to see their legs bent up. They don't have room to stretch out.

* It's just more convenient to put them in a forward-facing seat.

I've even heard people bragging about how advanced their baby was due to forward facing before age 1. How uneducated can one be???

Come on, people. This is a little LIFE you are responsible for. Why in the world would you not research these decisions before you make them?

You can watch a video here that explains why you should practice extended rear-facing.
