I came across this video while doing some research on carseats and turning them forward facing. Personally, I had been looking forward to Brandon's birthday and turning him forward facing! After watching these videos, I am now NOT going to turn Brandon forward facing until his maximum weight limit for his carseat. The maximum weight limit for his carseat is 35 pounds, and he is roughly 28 pounds, so he will be rear facing for a while longer. I wanted to share this with any other Mommy out there in the hopes that it may save a child's life, or at least educate in some way.
Considering that the American Academy of Pediatrics have had WAY more college and training than I have, I will take their advice over anything else. I just wanted to share this with you all.

this makes me terrified to ever even drive with nixon.
Don't worry about his legs getting too long to face backward. My daughter rides with her toes in her ears. I have a pic of her like that on my blog somewhere, check my popular posts. She's 35 pounds now and I'm about ready to move her to a booster. Yikes! I'm thinking of getting the Graco Nautilis so I can keep her in a 5pt harness for another year or two.
