[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the big study that said we need to rearface til 2/beyond was debunked several years ago?  That doesn't mean we shouldn't rearface, but I dont think the science is as clear as people on here make it out to be.

I skimmed that article and it seems basically they’re saying that, while RF isn’t “5 times safer” than FF as was previously claimed, it is still likely safer but they just don’t have enough information or enough studies to conclude how much safer it actually is. Is that right or did I miss something?

Anyway, if you have your seat installed correctly, check to make sure your child is buckled in correctly (snugly and with chest clip at armpits, etc) every time, and make sure your child fits the seats height/weight requirements, particularly checking that their head is at least 1 inch below the top of the shell of the car seat, and if you are a very safe and unimpaired driver, then your child should be very safe in the car whether RF or FF.[/quote]
