  • I love how this video showed that children need to be teenagers to sit in the front seat. I just wished that you said it is because children 12 years old and younger do not have the same bone development of that as an adult. It does not matter how big or tall they are. Also, most kids at 9 years old also need a booster seat- I don't like it when you said between age 8 to 12 because there aren't a lot of 8 year olds who fit the adult seat belt.

  • Great video!! Very informative!

  • I love this - but I wish it was also divided into segments. I want someone to see the booster information but I KNOW they will not sit through all the other parts to get to the part about boosters.

  • Finally, some support for those of us who see the danger of FF too soon. Great video!

  • I am soo glad they finally set these guidelines! I have 3 children all of which have been/are ERF/EH my 18 month old and 2.5 year old are still RFing and my 4.5 year old is still in a 5 point harness seat and they are all happy and comfortable!

  • Nice :-)

  • Thats actually very smart. I plan on doing that :)

  • I couldn't be more thrilled with the new guidelines!! My daughter is 3.5 yrs old 30lbs and 38.5" and still RFing!

  • This is fantastic! I hope that every parent watches this video and follows the guidelines. My 4 yr old daughter was rear facing until she was past 3 years old. If they don't know any better, they will get used to it. Give them some activities and/or portable DVD to watch. I used to talk to her about what she could see out the window. Thank you for making this wonderfully informative video!
