A Thank You Note From a Father

Hi all,

I would like to thank the founders of this site, as well as the people who are running it and its members.

I am the kind of a person who has to make a research before buying something, especially for something which I am buying for the safety of my DD (my only child yet ). Thanks to care-seat.org I have learned about REAR FACING. In my country (Turkey), almost noone has an idea about this and ALL of the people that I know end up buying a FF seat once their kid outgrows the infant seat, or right after their kid becomes 12 months old. I even know a couple who purchased a FF car seat when their kid is around 9-10 months old, because their baby is crying in her infant seat. I didn't say anything to them because I, myself had no clue about the subject either. I, could also end up going to a store and buy a FF seat for my 10 month old, because soon he will outgrow his seat, but thanks to this site I am planning to keep my DD RF, as long as possible.

Sadly in my country even using infant seats wasn't mandatory prior to June 2010, but a new law has been made in accordance with the EU laws. However, except Sweden, I doubt that throughout EU countries, the importance of RF is known as we can see from the available products in their market. So in the end I was left with either importing from US or Sweden, and chose Sweden because the available products in their market allow for RF for much longer. I had made the order yesterday from carseat.se and I can't wait to receive it!

Also, special thanks to Adventuredad, who was very helpful and patient with my questions prior to my order.

Thank you all.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you were able to find a seat that will allow you to keep your baby safe in the car.

I know I enjoy helping out people who want to do research and need help keeping their children safe. It's even better to hear when we've made a positive difference. It sounds like you will be making a difference in your area when people see your cool seat and wonder why your baby is riding backwards.

This place is awesome. I think I had basic car seat safety knowledge when I came here but there was so much I was just not aware of when it comes to keeping our kids safe! I agree! This place is amazing and the people that offer their time and expertise are angels!
