[quote=Anonymous]Laws are years behind. States are now trying to pass laws to rear face until age 2, start s booster at age 6, stay in a booster until 10-12 years old.

This information can be found online the American avademy of pediatrics as been recommending rear facing until age 2 since 2002 the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Association) the ones who perform crash tests on car seats and cars has been recommending rear facing as close to 4 as possible or they have outgrown their convertible seat (that's a seat that rear faces and towards faces) they also say kids aren't ready for boosters until age 6 because the belt usually doesn't fit right and children need to be mature enough to stay in the correct position 100% of the time this means no leaning, slouching, bending over to reach something even at a stop light, they lmow not to put the belt behind them, and stay in position when sleeping. Some 5 year olds are booster ready but they are far and few between. No 3 year old is capable of sitting correctly. Contact safekids.org and meet with a CPST which is a car seat tech. They go to trainings, take classes, help teach people how to use their seats, buckle the kids in properly, make sure the seat is the right one for your child, and will give you current information.

Even if it isn't a law why don't you want your kids to be as safe as possible? Your nanny would be liable if anything happened to them while driving and I could see you blaming her. So please do her a favor and Fire her tell her why you did because she cares more about safety and she needs to find a family that cares about safety and is willing to learn[/quote]
