[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goodness, how times change. When my 10 year old was 13 months old, he flipped to a FF, because that’s what the pediatricians said was OK. i guess cars and car seats have changed a lot since then...[/quote]

I don’t think the issue is that cars and car seats have changed, it’s that people have realized that RF is a lot safer. The pediatrician would probably still say it’s ok to switch to FF after age 1 or by age 2 at least bc that’s the law most places but that doesn’t mean it’s the safest option. [/quote]

They knew it back then as I have a 10 year old and we RF till 4.  You could do it in the car seats back then.  Lots of published studies especially out of Sweden but it was talked about heavily on the car seat websites and groups.  How sad for your 10 year old you didn't value safety.[/quote]

This is really uncalled for.[/quote]

How is it uncalled for?  That poster is making fun of someone RF beyond 12 months.  Even back then while the APP didn't recommend it best practices was a minimum of two, max of 4, or until the child outgrew the seat (i.e 40 pounds and height).  It shows the lack of safety or knowledge and most ped's sadly gives bad information.[/quote]
