Thanks, Anyone can DIE in a car accident weather forward facing or rear facing. Like I said what I DID with my OWN kids is what is BEST for my kids and EVERYONE parents differently there is no wrong or right way. I have a boy rear facing now in daycare who is 14 months old ad he will stay that way til he is 2 because thats what his Mom says is best for HER child and Im ok with it and I will do what she thinks is best for her child.
