@cathwn The video is from 2007. That would explain the 1 year and 20lbs statement.
-
@cathwn The car-seat he was referring to was rated at 5-22 lbs (2-10kg). Typically over 1 year old your child will be heavier than 10kg. So if you want to keep your child RF until the limit "of your seat" and you have that purple seat, then 1 year is correct by your won logic.

@cathwn well, they haven't changed, or tagged the video, i guess they don't mind if they're recommending things that kill/injure babies. sides, the overhead shield seats are nearly universally illegal now.
-
U dont have to FF at 1 year! Its so much safer for them to be RF.
-
Children should stay rear facing until they reach the upper weight/height limit on their car seat. The minimums are NOT good enough. Once you do face them forward, keep them in a 5 point harness as long as possible...there are seats that can do this until 45-60 lbs. A seatbelt is NOT ENOUGH!
My 5yo (50lbs) is ff in a 5pt harness, and my 2yo (35lbs) is rf. We do not intend to move them anytime soon. Please keep your kids safe, keep them rf or harnessed as long as possible! It's worth the money!

DD has just turned three and has just been turned ff as shes reached the rf limit of the seat.
-
AAP is now recommending that children stay rear facing until age 2. This was just changed in April.

My child rear faced till 3 and 2 months, she isn't a sheltered sissy.. plus it is our job as parents to shelter our kids and protect them.
the law is the minimum, my children deserve better than the minimum.

Ugh!!! That's so annoying "once your child reaches age of 1 they have to face forward" NO THEY DON'T. And they shouldn't! The AAP recommends children RF to the limit of their seat, which should get most children to age 2 if not a lot more!!!

I completley agree, that is REALLY annoying! This video needs to be removed!
