Car Seat Safety Video / Front facing or Rear facing?

This is a difficult story and video to see, but I find it very impactful and dear to my heart. It's bizarre to me that America doesn't make a stronger push for parents to keep their babies rear facing for as long as possible, when research and crash studies demonstrate how devastating the consequences of an accident with a child facing forward can be. Many car seats will accomodate babies up to 35-40lbs in the rear facing position, but parents often turn their children around just after their 1st birthday, because the law states that they can. Please, if you are the parent of an infant or new baby, consider watching this video clip and rethinking how soon you turn your baby to forward facing in their carseats, it is a matter of serious neck and spine injuries to a baby, it is a matter of life and death!
