My MIL called me yesterday after seeing GMA's segement on car seats. She is 75 years young and called to inform me that rear facing is safer for babies :p and that she is going to have a chat with her oldest grandaughter (our oldest neice) about turning her 1.5 year old back around (she turned her at 9 months and didn't want to hear what I had to saw about keeping her RF).

I chuckled about this, this is the same woman that when I was pregnant with Madeline wanted to know if I wanted her to make me something to hold the baby in when driving in the car (back when my DH and his siblings were born - DH the youngest in 64, there was nothing and she made these harness type things to put the babies in so they wouldn't roll off the seat), of course I declined and informed her that we had car seats now ;)

Good for her for listening!

My mother called me, too. She informed me that I was right-- babies and young children should be RF. :p

Yay. So what if it had to come from someone else. The point is they believe you and want you to do it!! Was that something on TV or what's GMA?

My Mom saw this, too. Oddly enough she backed me when I told my husband we were turning her around. Without she would agree since everyone else FF at one year, 20 pounds, we should, too.

Yay for good shows. Honestly feel wonderful that I am MORE aware with visual evidence- as it totally changed my mind on the subject. :D
