[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You gotta have some faith and confidence people! Of course RF is limiting them. Who faces backward in a seat normally? They can see out the window but they can't see you. There's no interaction. We FF at 12M. He was so much happier. I cannot imagine keeping a child RF until 4 yrs old sorry. What happens if you get rear ended? [/quote]

Our third is still rearfacing at 17 months and we aim to make it until 2. We can interact fine. She can see us through a mirror or by turning her head and looking up. I can reach back and rub her head and even pass back a toy or book or lean back while stopped. You can still talk and sing to your child even if they aren't looking at you. How is rearfacing limiting?

Forward facing is safer due to head size (their heads are heavier) and the fact that their spinal columns aren't fully developed yet. I think that takes priority over "I can see them better when they are facing me".

Our almost 5 year old and 3 year old are forward facing. I wish I had followed my gut and kept them rearfacing until 2, fortunately we've never been in an accident to test their seats. [/quote]
