The number 1 cause of death of children under 13: car accidents. This photo makes my stomach turn. Did you know if you're in an accident going only 30mph, and your child who weighs under 45lbs is forward facing, they can become INTERNALLY DECAPITATED. Let that sink in. It means their spinal cord snaps because of how heavy their head is. The bottom photo is rear facing. Your child is 500x safer rear facing in an accident. Why do the BARE MINIMUM?? Broken legs-cast it! Broken neck-CASKET!! It's true. Research. #extendedrearfacing #research #dontloseyourbaby #rearfacing #parentingdoesnotmeanthebareminimum #physics #thinkaboutit #notworthit
