[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I rear-face to age 5. I will do everything possible to keep my kids alive, and this is the easiest and best way. A Diono seat fits most kids for a long, long, time. Easily 3, and usually 4. 5 for some kids, too. My child is almost 5 and will easily fit in the Diono seat rear-facing. Legs don't matter at all. It's the spine and head that we worry about.

[b]Then we harness to age 7 or 8 or so, then booster until 11 or 12, whenever they 5 step to fit the adult belt.

I do NOT want my kids to die in a car accident. It happens left and right in the papers.

I'm also a carseat tech and if only people knew the heartbreak of losing a child, and how easy it is to keep them safe by using the proper seat and installing it properly.

No boosters for preschoolers!
And please keep your kids RF to age 3, at least. Their little necks can snap so easily in a crash.[/quote]

They may not die in a car accident but their well-being may be impacted by being infantilized and overprotected. It would also be safer for your kids to eat pureed food until they are 12 as that will reduce the risk of choking. Being mocked by other kids or not having friends because at 12 you still have to be in a car seat is a high price to pay in terms of social, emotional and mental well-being. No 12 yr old is going to take their car seat into a friends car or want friends in their car while they are in a car seat. [/quote]
