My cousin’s son turned one TODAY and she started forward facing him 😱 she isn’t listening to ANYONE that’s telling her it’s unsafe, illegal, etc. Her excuse is literally “he’s too long to rear face” but MY 3 1/2 YEAR OLD STILL REAR FACES. She lives 5 hours away so I can’t physically do anything, but I’m struggling so hard knowing she’s driving around with him like that 🤬
