I was just in Buy Buy Baby and because I love car seats, I was wandering through that section. I heard 2 different sales people telling 2 different expectant parents that they needed to buy an infant car seat to fit newborns, but most babies outgrow those seats by 8-10 months and then the babies move to forward facing seats and although that ideally they should keep babies rear facing until they are 12 months old so if their baby is average size or larger, they should buy a convertible seat at that point.
It's really too bad that the sales people are not giving appropriate advice. It seems like explaining the 2 years rear facing recommendation & benefits of rear facing even longer could help increase money spent on car seats might be beneficial for stores and therefore, cost effective to train the employees to recommend safer practices & purchases... Right?
