I know that traveling by plane is already significantly safer than traveling by car. But I'm running into conflicting info on if rear facing is important on a plane for children over 1 yr & 20 lbs.
I've heard many say that no, it doesn't, just being in a car seat (ffing) is good enough. But then I see this information:

Opinions?
Also, when we fly Isabel will be 23 months old. I plan to have her rfing on the plane for a few reasons. I also think it will be more considerate for her to be rfing so she's not kicking someone else's seat. She'd only be kicking her seat. But, on another site, people are getting all up in arms because if she's rear facing the person infront of her can't recline their seat. I'm like "you pick, a toddler kicking your reclined seat; or not being able to recline your seat and riding in peace."
