  • Dawnjordan, I wish you were right...*sigh*...I'm a pediatric nurse, and I've seen this horrible PREVENTABLE tragedy and what's even worse are the poor parents who never knew this could happen but though they were doing their best with any sort of carseat; in "normal" conditions, Rearfacing is BEST even up to 40 pounds--in 'abnormal', it's the difference between life& death or paralyzation. Please spread the word---being a parent doesn't come with a manual--help get the word out &let's save lives

  • Make me want to sit backwards in the driver's seat ;-)

  • @lifescholar The "childs" straps don't seem to be as tight as they should be either. But I noticed that the top tether strap is not attached or VERY loose. that seat should not move that much.. I'm not saying either or is right.

  • High impact rear facing are very rare and only make up less than 7 % of all impacts. Rer facing is perfectly safe, more so than forward facing.

    

  • @luvingmami they cannot make seating facing backwards anymore it is extremely dangerous if you get rear ended. Can you imagine if you got rear ended badly with a child facing it. They would not live.

  • Is this car seat properly installed? Because it doesn't look like it is tethered at all at the top.

  • @luvingmami Many full size vans do.

  • anyone know how much it costs one of these babies for crash tests and where I can buy?

    really need one: (

  • LOL @ a1mint's comment and so I agreed! Car companies needs to make vehicle seatings facing backward for the bigger kids that can't rear-facing in regular seats. Also, I wish I could keep both my 7 and 5 yr old rearfacing but it is just too impossible...might cause more injuries if I try (not enough room).
