I asked my daughter's preschool teachers if I could leave some USSA booklets and printouts from here http://www.800bucklup.org/laws/documents/CRLawFactSheet.pdf and they said sure, that's a great idea. Then one of them asked me what I thought about rear facing vs forward facing. I asked her what age and she told me her grandson is about to turn one and her daughter said she was planning on turning him forward facing on his birthday. She (grandma) had heard the AAP's new recs of at least 2 years but her daughter wants to be able to see what he's doing back there. She asked what they do with their legs. We (me and my sister) told her they just sit criss cross or whatever, it doesn't bother them. We told her my 2 year old and sis's 2yr 9mo old are both still rfing. I told her to take her daughter one of the books/printouts and have her watch Joel's Journey. She (grandma) has a seat for him in her car too and I think I concvinced her at least to leave him rear facing in her car. I was happy it went so well. I was a little nervous about bringing up car seats at all for some reason and it was so easy. Then me, my sister, and the teachers stood around talking car seats for a few more minutes. They said that they do a booster seat training with the kids and every year they have kids who say they don't ride in a booster in the family car. The teachers tell them that is against the law and they need to get a booster. They will even tell the parents. Now if so many of them will quite putting their 4 year olds in the front seat.
