[quote=Anonymous]Other than car sickness, what are the reasons that rear facing is hard for people? Several posters have talked about how forward facing is easier but that wasn't my experience. My DD rear faced until she was 4 and it was only in the last month or so before we switched her seat that it became an issue, with her being frustrated that she couldn't see us or participate in our conversation, or where passing things back to her was annoying.

In some respects, I found rear-facing easier because I think it enabled her to fall asleep in the car more easily. I don't know if this is just a coincidence because of her age, but DD used to nap very easily in her rear-facing car seat, and since switching she has not fallen asleep in the car once. Not even on long car trips or when we are driving home in the evening after her bedtime. Even when she's obviously tired! I think facing away from us and the front window made it easier for her to nod off. Might also have to dow with the recline of the seat -- most car seats are more reclined in the rear-facing position than when forward facing.[/quote]
