My dh actually gets it now!

My dh hardly ever says much about carseats. He lets me buy whatever and install them. The kids go whichever direction I install their seat. I do preach to him about ERF and not boostering before they are ready, and stuff. But he never says anything.

Last night, he told me some neighbors came over and they were outside talking off-road vehicles. He said he saw their baby's (13 months or so) seat installed FFing, and he immediately thought that was wrong. He said he didn't say anything, because he didn't want to be confrontational, but he knew that baby would be safer RFing.

So very proud of him. HIs family is very lax on carseats, and given his lack of responsiveness, I figured everything I said was going in one ear and out the other. I was so proud that he did actually "get" it and that he is aware of car seat safety. :dance: I guess he does listen to me sometimes!

That is awesome!


DH made a comment not too long ago saying that he couldn't believe that my sister turned her kids at 18 months since they were so little and that they would have been safer RFing for longer. I was a little bit proud of him. :) He has asked me once or twice how long DS is going to be RFing for (in which case, I respond with until he outgrows the seat) and did once voice his concern about his legs being squished, but has been totally on board and hasn't fought me at all. He did slightly roll his eyes at me though when I bought another RXT so that DS could continue to RF in his vehicle (since he outgrew our TFP around 18 months).
