Today at playgroup, some of the moms started discussing car seats, and what to do when their LOs outgrew the infant seat (one of them didn't even know what a convertible seat was!) and someone mentioned that I had just got Ellie a new seat, and she was rear facing.
So, I told them the basics- it is safer, there are a ton of seats out there that RF for a long time, and that they could come here and get some answers for what kind of seat for what kid in what car...
As well, I showed them Greg's car seat coat, which they really liked!
So, I posted a message on our playgroup board, but wanted to add a few links about WHY RFing is safer. I don't want to post the graphic videos- I am trying to avoid any confrontation or anything, but was hoping that I could get some links for the AAP and any other professional group explaining why it was safer.
I have learned so much just from visiting this site, and I really hope that some of my friends will ERF their kids. It is really hard for me to be "the example" though, since Ellie is so small, they pretty much all just think that she RF's because she is still small enough to fit that way. I did say that Ellie's seat RF's to 40 lbs.
Thanks!
