Okay so I have an interesting question for techs or anyone else with input:
A friend of mine and her husband are adopting an "older" child fron Eastern Europe. She has Down Syndrome, and just turned 7. She has probably never even seen a car, much less riden in one.
Here's the question: With what you know about neck fusion in children and possible AAI/AAOI (atlanto axial/oxciptial instability), Would you as a parent get a doctor to approve and imported seat to keep your kid RF as long as possible.
If it offers any other insight: The child is not her size for her age,even on the DS scale(probably close to 40" or smaller).non-verbal and not walking and also was recently diagnosed with celiac disease, so not on target for weight.
Thank you all for any imput.
