My husband and I were talking about how safe rear facing is. I read a report that police recommend rear facing for as long as possible and are trying to get doctors to agree. My pediatrcian told me to turn her around at 11 months, because she is so long. He said even though 12 months is the law, he would give me a note saying he recommended turning her around due to her length.
My husband says he sees why rear facing is safe in all accidents, with the exception of rear end accidents. He says then she is safer forward facing and that rear end accidents are the most common. He wonders why they don't test these seats in rear end accidents.
