so let's think about what you're really saying here. you'd rather preserve the primary set of teeth on a child (which are going to fall out and get replaced with their secondary/permanent set anyway) than save their life altogether? hmmm... i'll take my chances on losing some teeth, thank you. and btw, the brace looks pretty cushioned to me, so the likelihood of teeth getting knocked out doesn't seem all that high anyway.
The best seat for older child rear facing is Britax Two Way. My 6-year old is rear facing in this one. I only know his heigt in cm and he is 120 cm, normal for a 6 year old.
It is always more safe to be rear facing in a crash no matter if its a frontal crash or a side crash. And I would like to know why parents let a 4 year old decide whats safe in the car?
Rear facing kids have a lot of leg room and its most comfortable for them. Would you want broken legs or a broken spine and paralyzed? I would want broken legs.
Thats NOT safe! Children under the age of 4-5 years should be rear facing. I would rather walk than let my child use that carseat. My kids are 2 and 5 years and they are rear facing of course, no problems and we have a "normal" car, not a big one.
Volvo e.g. makes a rear facing seat, with very good results at front crashes, but average results at side crashes. So what's the use of rear facing then? Would "average" be good enough for you? This Kiddy front facing seat has good results in general, not only for certain kinds of accidents. I'd really to know what a 4-5 years old child had to say about rear facing during a longer journey, say 10-12 hours when going on holiday. Most seats have pros and cons, both in security and convenience.
In IRL accidents rearfacing seats perform far better than any forwardfacing configuration. You can install a European RF seat wrong and still get a better outcome in an accident. Forward facing seats can travel 55 cm and beyound motion unchecked. A rearfacin seat will travel perhaps 1 cm giving the child far more ride down time and the movement f the seat is more controlled.
There is certainly a point there. However there is the problem that the child misses legroom or in smaller cars there is no room to place the seat.
The best solution wood be that car manufacturers place the backseat oppostite to where it is know (I know this won't happen). Children would then have the legroom and then the kiddysystem would still outperform others.
A new problem would maybe arise: carsickness for certain children driving in opposite direction

@Teddi081 - What kind of car seat do you recommend for older kids? I don't know of any brands that would accommodate that age/size rear facing.
