Hi, I have a friend who is my old teacher from school. and she has a little girl who is 11.5 months old. I mentioned ERF to her and she said that sounds like a wonderful idea, but will need info on it to convince her husband. Do you know where i might find some to give to her?? like reasons why to do it and benefits.

Also I have a girl scout friend who's daughter i babysit for and she would like to know if her daughter's bucket seat is outgrown. I will post pics of Sarah in her seat after i go babysit her on saturday.

Hello,

Here are some rear-facing links for you:

As for outgrowing a seat, the best place to start is with the owner's manual! Every seat can vary and since this information is coming to your friends third hand, I really suggest they start with the manual and post here themselves if photos are required.

thanks for the article, i got it to her and she loved it. I also snagged some pics of older kids rear facing from the album as well, and she said that if the pics didn't convince her husband nothing would.
Also, I'm going to attempt to post the pics of the baby in the contending outgrown seat at the mom's request.
