So...I know this is probably more of a vent but I need some advice on how to talk to my mother. LO isn't even born yet but me and mom were looking at carseats the other day and I was talking about MR and MA's and how they rearface to 40Lbs and how I would like to keep LO rearfacing till 3 or 4. She got this god awful look on her face. And was talking about the legs of them and everything. So I got home and showed her a video and when she saw all of their legs really extended on the back seat it made her even more worried. I told her that I would rather have broken legs in an accident than a neck. And she just tuned me out and started yelling at me. She told me that I had never been a parent so I couldn't possibly know what is right and that she couldn't have imagined rearfacing me and my brother to 4. I just dont know what to tell her especially since she will be driving LO around alot. I plan on rearfacing atleast until shes 3 but how do I convince my mother that its the right thing to do. She wants proof that to 3 or 4 would actually be better.
