[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ehhhh...my 5 year old who is 36inches and 30lbs who is still rearfacing...

I don't really care if its popular. You can't fix dead and my son is way safer rearfacing. [/quote]

You have a five-year-old child facing backwards?!?!?! How does he/she go on playdates in other people's cars?

I've got three children in different schools and I've never, ever heard of or seen a five-year-old facing backwards. That is definitely unusual. Most five-year-olds in NW DC are in booster seats.

Wow, your kid doesn't ever ask to see where he or she is going? My 3 and 5 year old kids notice road signs, trucks, people walking, etc. and we can talk about what we are seeing. My five year old loves practicing reading signs that we pass on a regular basis. I think it helped him figure out how to read. The other day my husband took my five year old for a playdate and he didn't know the way. As he was calling me to get directions, my five year old was able to tell him where to turn. [/quote]

I'm the OP and I just don't get this argument.

My 2.5yo loves telling me when the light changes, the signs she sees on the other side of the road, she spelled COSTCO the other day while we passed COSTCO by the Pentagon Mall. How rear facing keeps the child from seeing the road? She knows when we're passing in front of her favorite playground, she cheers up when we're approaching grandma's house, etc. I just don't get your argument.[/quote]

I don't get how you can see if a light changes if you are facing backwards? [/quote]

The light of the intersection behind you on the other side of the road. You can see it if you look at your rear view mirror too. Just try.[/quote]
