:thumbsdown: I'm sure that the new recommendations will make many kids safer. Unfortunately, they will likely make my particular child less safe in one of our cars. Go AAP.
I was so excited to see new recommendations this morning that I sent DH the healthykids.org site with the new recs as soon as I saw them. I should have read them first, since they now have a "loophole" for RF as long as possible:
"All children 2 years or older, or those younger than 2 years who have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit for their car safety seat, should use a Forward-Facing Car Safety Seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by their car safety seat’s manufacturer."
DH, who's not dumb, now wants to turn the little dude FF (26 months, 29.5 lbs). And since I've spent the last 2 years talking about following the AAP recs I can't even say anything now! And apparently we're back to "harness as long as possible." Lucky for DS (I suppose ), DH won't see any reason to buy a Frontier in a few years.
