@ciraclesmiracle, that would be awesome if everyone follows

@txyogagirl, it just passed here in California January 1st, and also a few other states, so hopefully more states will follow suit.

@ciraclesmiracle, right seems like everyone would follow they should really make it a law. I get so mad bc here in tx I see people with kids not even in seats.

@txyogagirl, I just re-read it and it's actually not law--it's just "suggested best practice". I honestly don't know why someone wouldn't want to follow the "best practice" though--it is 500% safer, after all!

@ciraclesmiracle, omg thank u so much for this info I'm going to show her I'm sure she will get mad but o well. So I thought it was usually a law such as example 50lb or 8 years old or whichever comes first. At least that's what I learned at my last defensive driving class. They never gave any info on smaller children just the 8 year old then after that they don't have to be in any kind of seat as long as they r n back. I took that class around this time last year. I did research on car seats when I was shopping but never read any laws bc Luke is still in the seat he has always had. I'm still using nb insert and he is a chunk. Not sure if I should be or not.

@txyogagirl, I looked it up and it IS law in TX! So the good news is that you can tell them it's the new law! ссылка

According to the car seat website I was looking at (for car seat reviews, etc), the ideal is to have your child rear-face to 3-4 years. I worry that my son will be too tall, but as long as he fits, he sits!!

@levismom, my sister is one of those moms it's so sad but yet she talked about my cousins wife who had her 2 year old rear facing I'm sure they will talk about me when Luke is older bc I will be the mom that leaves him rear facing a long time they already thing I'm so gross bc I wash poop off cloth diaper I'm just like omg it's just 💩 like they don't 💩@ciraclesmiracle, I believe Texas don't have that law but I wish they did

@ciraclesmiracle, agreed

@levismom, that's really sad. I hope nothing bad happens to her baby. I can't imagine living with that guilt.

This! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I know someone who switched their child to front facing at 15 months. I was like, seriously?? You couldn't wait 9 more months??? I kept my mouth shut. She's already the type that you can't tell her anything.

@ciraclesmiracle, that's exactly what I'm saying we all do it.. when I left the hospital I had an after market product in my car seat for a few months before a mom let me know it was unsafe.. and I was soo thankful I thanked her so much for telling me. So it's hard to understand why people get offended when someone is just looking out for your kids safety

True...and sometimes I feel like a broken record. One thing I hate is when people post pics w their kids in car seats incorrectly...just take them out and take a pic

@nowmrspost, its definitely a very delicate subject to broach... it's like telling someone they have food in their teeth or toilet paper on their shoe... except a child's life is at risk!

@txyogagirl, I don't know what the rush is?!? Car seats are a pain whether they're front or rear facing, might as well do it right! In CA rear-facing is the law until 2 years. I hope other states make it the law too.

@corinalopez, I've definitely made mistakes--I'm far from perfect, but if I was putting my child in danger I would hope somebody would say something! I'm sure I would be embarrassed, but I would understand it's from a good place.
