    Thank you for this moving video. It literally brought me to tears to see what happens to the crash test dummy in a forward-facing seat. I am sharing this video with my friends because I think it’s very important.

    My youngest daughter will be 2 in the beginning of February. She is well over 1 year and 20lbs, which is the minimum requirement for where we live AND her car seat to face forward. She’s still rear facing.
    I get asked ALL the time if we’ll be turning her around soon, and I always reply no. People say she’s getting so big, she’s getting tall, it’s time to turn her around.
    I always say, “Break a leg, cast it. Break a neck, casket.”

    In the US not all seats require top tethering when forward facing. I’m assuming you are Canadian (as am I) where all forward facing seats must be thethered by law.

    thx for that videoclip.. as for me it was a start point to think over the idea of buying next seat for our child.. now I’m sure we wanted to do that too early..

    @mojeska What is BS? Children’s lives being saved by staying rear facing?

    Shared! Also for all of the people who complain about the cost of a higher rear-facing seat, it’s cheaper than a funeral!

    In 1993 we had no idea, my kid hit 20 pounds at 4 months old and was forward facing at that point because she outgrew the baby carseat, weight-wise.

    In 2005, I had my second child, and the recommendations were much clearer. She was rear facing until she was well over 3 years old and 30 pounds. Legs have nice bendy parts in the middle that lets kids fit even when their legs get “too long”.

    My son is still 33 months and 33 lbs ERF. So many others I know have the facts but still choose to not use them for the best of their child. Im a very proud ERF mom!

    Why is the forward facing car seat not buckled properly? My 2 year old nephew and 5 year old niece forward face and they are secured extremely well in their seats. They’ve also unfortunately been in a frontal collision, and were perfectly safe aside from bruises and being shaken up. My daughter is 6 months old and will be rear facing until she’s 2.

    @thechestycannibal It is a European car seat, and they are very different from the US models. the model shown in this video is old tough. besides this, you just can´t prevent any forward facing seat from going forward, no matter how tightly you strap it to the car. Even with a seat that is top tethered, the loads on the child can be too high in a crash.

    Great video! I will share- but way toooooo fast. Please re-do and slow down so we can read and get full impact of the script.

    My daughter is 40 months and about 32lbs. She is still rear-facing with no complaint. She will be rear-facing till she hits her seat’s limit at 45lbs.

  22. savedbygrace99 says

    It would be awesome if this could be updated with the new recommendation of 2 years minimum rear facing! I would be posting it on facebook if it was up to date
    :)

    This video was created in February of 2007. There are new guidelines out there. In this video, it said a child should be rear faced until they are 1 year old and 20 pounds, but the AAP changed the guidelines up until 2 years old or longer. I hate those uneducated idiots who endanger children. “My 1 year old whines in a car seat.” or the super idiot says, “Car seats do not keep my kids safer.”

    @JessiesMommy09
    What happens when you RF and you get hit from behind? Only a minute amount of crashes- 5% are rear ended and in a rear ended crash people tend to lerch forward anyways. Also, speeds are reduced. As a side note, if you wanted to know, in side impact crash, rear facing was far superior than forward facing.
    Leg = cast it, Neck=casket
    If the child had it’s leg broken anyways, the crash must have been severe. If they broke their leg, I would be happy they were rear faced!
