I was so happy! The message is spreading...

This evening, while out shopping, I met a dad and his two kids (who were adorable!). We were chatting for a bit and I asked how old the kids were. He pointed to the older one and said, "This one is almost three," then pointed to the younger one and said, "And this one is almost two." We then chatted for another couple of minutes and then both left the store at the same time. It turns out we were parked next to each other.

I can't tell you how THRILLED I was to see the dad put BOTH his kids (age "almost three" and age "almost two") into REAR-FACING seats. HORRAY!!! The older child was put into a RF Marathon and the younger child was put into what looked like a RF Scenera. I was SO happy!!!

I think the message is spreading... leave your kids RF as long as possible. :) :D

dang! wow! the only other child I have seen rearfacing past 1 year or 20lbs is my neice!!!!

I was SO excited!! It still seems to be so rare...

My niece is turning one in a little over a week. I have been promised that she will remain RF as long as possible. I am so glad!!! My other niece was turned FF not long after turning one, I believe.

That is SO COOL!! :D It would have made my day, too!

I'd never actually seen an older child rear-facing IRL until I convinced my friend to turn her 22mo, 26# little boy rear-facing again.
