So a mama on my Infertility board posted a story about her sister getting into an accident with their baby. Well he was on the passenger side. Then she said this-
Obviously I know Pediatricians don't know everything, or a whole lot about car seats. But this does make sense. I do know there is a safer outboard side, but it's not that much of a safety difference... Right?
Oh ya the point I was getting at was that the pediatrician told my sister to always put your car seat on the driver side. Seems backwards right? Well he said most of the injured children that come in were on the passanger side. That the driver cannot see clearly what is happening on that side of the car so you're more likely to get hit on that side. If you turn left at a light you'll get hit on that side. Oh and if you swerve you're more likely to swerve left cause that's the side of the car the driver is on and the side they can see better. He said that yes it seems silly for getting them in and out of the car if you park on the street but that at least that is something you can be in control of. Don't take them out until the coast is clear. You can't control other drivers. Makes sense when explained that way...
