I have several wonderful friends whom I work with. We are also great friends outside of work. Of the 6 of us, 3 have DDs younger than my DD. I am made to feel like a freak because I kept DD RF for so long. I have shown them the crash test videos, shown them the research, etc all in what I feel are very non-confrontational ways.
I stopped bringing up carseats around them because I am told I am a fanatic and that they have friends, sisters, etc who turned their kids at 12 and 20 and they were "fine." They bring it up though.
I am so frustrated. Why do we even try?
I don't understand how a parent can KNOW definitively, that their child is not safe (or the safest possible) yet still do it (turn child FF, put in a booster FAR too young, etc.
