Ottawa Accident: Rear Facing Car Seats for Toddlers
Ottawa Lawyer: When my kids were babies, I could not wait until they reached 20 pounds so I could switch them into the front facing car seat. I felt it was easier to keep an eye on them since I was always convinced that they might be choking or otherwise in danger.
For both my boys, that was well before their first birthdays. Today there is a movement a foot to have the regulations changed to ensure toddlers face the rear for much longer than is currently required.
I was skeptical until I saw this Swedish public service video on You Tube:
Why wouldn’t we err on the side of caution and keep our toddlers as safe as technology permits?
