Stats:
The child is 2 years 3 months; 17 pounds; not walking; wears leg braces.
Letter:
The consultant pediatrician writes: "This child needs to go in a front facing car seat owing to her length and very low weight."
For those interested in the background:
At work, I was trying to convince a foster mom to keep her foster baby rear facing. I wasn't sucessful. I tried the niceties first re. ERF and then the heavy handed, "you're breaking the law" stance (This child doesn't meet our bare minimum Canadian standards to forward face across not only the weight domain but also the developmental domain (walking)) and her length isn't that great --- she fit nicely with tonnes of inches of shell above her head in every rear facing convertible (infant/child seat) seat I tried her in.
Foster mom said she'd talk to the pediatrician.
This above quoted letter is what I got... and work is sufficiently content to allow this baby to forward face.
