[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine RF until they hit the weight limit of their Marathons at around 3.  We did this because it was the safest thing to do.  A broken leg can be fixed, a broken neck cannot.  That simple.

They will be harnessed until they pass the 'test'

RF kids can still be seriously injured or killed in car accidents. It may be safer but it is not so simple as RF and you will have never have anything more than a broken leg.[/quote]

You are being dense on purpose and it is not persuading anyone to your side. I am confident in my decision to leave my 2.5 year old rear facing for the moment and have no problem with the decision you make for your children. I seriously do not understad why you have such an issue with mine. [/quote]

I have no problem with RF or with your decision at all. I have a problem with your insistence that your child will never have more than a broken leg and mine will be dead because you RF until 2. That simple. [/quote]

I have never said that. I am not the poster you quoted earlier and they did not say that either. She has pointed out that the data shows rear facing is safer in the majority of car accidents. She never said it was a guarantee and she certainly never wished ill will upon your child. Also, FWIW, our ped even said at my daugthers 18 months visit, "We are much better at fixing legs than we are necks." I think everyone mentions legs because that is the reasoning often cited by those who turn the carseat at a year. [/quote]
