A car seat PSA about when to turn children from rear to front-facing. If you think that being a year old and 20 lbs makes it safe to be front-facing, please watch this video!

A blog post from Earthy Yoga Mom regarding car seat safety. Quite thorough.

According to CPSafety.com
The most common misconception parents have is that children are uncomfortable or at risk for leg injury by having their legs up on the vehicle seat back when kept rear-facing longer. This is completely incorrect. First, children are more flexible than adults so what we perceive as uncomfortable is not so much so for the children. Second, there are NO documented cases of children's legs breaking in a crash due to longer rear-facing. Even if there were, a cast can be put on the leg; with a severed spinal cord from FF too soon (of which there are documented cases) there is no way to repair the damage.
