I have been going back and forth with some friends and family over the importance of extended rear-facing. The comments they make just astound me. most are saying their dr's gave the okay to flip them FF before a year because their dc's legs were smooshed. Seriously? I wish dr's would stop telling parents to flip kids before 2. Plus I wish the law would just change. Sorry had to get it off my chest and I can't vent anywhere else because everyone thinks I'm being crazy.
