- Young children facing forward have a greater chance of injuring their spines and even breaking their necks in a crash, according to experts. Kristine Lazar reports.
It's simple rear facing is safer
I remember as anew mum I turned my boy at one not knowing any better then a good friend of mine directed me to an excellent Australian FB group that taught me all the proper info for Australian carseats I'm in Australia obviously but I felt so bad once I'd learnt of my error just thinking what could have happened to my boy if we had been in an accident I've had two more children since my first born and I've managed to rear face my daughter till she was 2.5 and my one year old is still rear facing I'll be having bubby number four in March and he will be rear facing for as long as possible as well
It's just safer
I honestly think that midwives should be teaching first time mums and dads about rear facing before Thier baby's are even born so they can have the time to pick out a car seat they like ECT that meets the requirements not enough new parents know this information
My daughter feet hangs out of the car seat and hits the set, I know thats uncomfortable for her..
Agree makes sense this is good video
Yayyyyyyyyyy common sense prevails !!! This sherrif dudes got all the right info too
My kid is over 2 years and still rides rear-facing (I'm from Portugal). I could care less what the law says, I do it because it's SAFER and will do continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
My car seats allow for the forward facing toddler to still have a harness attachment which would prevent the child from lunging forward.
And what about rear end hits?
You’re still lunged forward and when you instinctively hit the brakes the momentum will be going forward
Good, imagine having to make a law to protect children from their ignorant parents🙄
Parenting is a learning curve. You can be doing your best and still not know every little thing.
@@Poptartsthatareplain101 car safety is not abstract, every decent patent would lose few minutes to read about it, keeping your kids safe should be paramount, there is NO excuse for ignoring car safety, none.
It's the same in Norway, but I would say that since the most common crashes is a rear end/ the car get hit from behind, it would be best to face forward?????? Sorry for misprints, english is not my language!
Bjørn Engebretsen they explain in the video that because your going forward the momentum is going forward. (An object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force) When you break hard everything flys forward and nothing will stop until it hits something.
Maybe we should drive backwards with a camera LOL
One year and still no one likes your comment probably because they know that this isn’t something to joke about
@@saraswinerton7202 easy Karen LOL
@@TimZ007 if I’m a Karen then even one else must be to be it has been a year and still no one thinks you are funny
@@saraswinerton7202 My original post even though I don't even remember posting it. LOL. I think was as if all persons in the vehicle are to ride backwards. Then use a camera to drive. Safer for everyone. Based on this story. I absolutely know that it is safer for kids to ride backwards. The top comment has like 8 likes for its not like no likes it a big deal. No need to troll me Bro.
@@TimZ007 I am not being mean I’m just saying that this isn’t something to joke about
CHP trying to explain physics is cringe asf
Agreed except my child is 14 months and feet are against the backseat and knees bent. Soooooo thats a no go for me.
I think they said 40 pounds or 40 inches so I’m guessing whichever comes first but I’d double check
Just because their feet touch the seat/knees bent doesn’t mean they are uncomfortable. It’s obvious you don’t care about their safety very much.
It’s way safer for their legs to be a tad scrunched than for their spine to be paralyzed.
How come ur child is only 14 months and already have their knees bent ???lmao
U can still rear face a grown 5 years old and still be fine
@@MonicaHolly143 rubbish my neice didnt fit rear facing at 4 months old there is no way a 5 year old would
You’re the news... how did you make it this far in your career and not know “2 or younger” and “under 2” is not the same thing.
Someone is making free money in a media house!! I was wondering too until I saw your comment
What about a rear end collision, it would be safe to face forward. Ive never hit anything head on, but i have had people run into the back of me. I think its more likly I'd get hit from the back because i can't control those people i can control myself,
It would still lunge your forward. Rear facing is always safer unless you’re somehow driving backwards.
Getting hit from the back will still throw your momentum forward
Omg 👍👍👍👍
my baby is nine months and already is uncomfortable how are we going to make it until she turns 2
virylixyus in the house -- it isn’t about what your child wants. It’s about what is safest for their spine. use toys to distract her. Maybe you need a cushier seat. The Nuna Rava is a rear and forward facing seat that is ultra comfy and works rear facing until a child is 50 pounds.
virylixyus in the house -- also the chicco nextfit is super comfy and rear faces until 40 pounds.
Ya because any parent would want their child to be more comfortable than to be safe.
Do you want comfort or safety ?
What a stupid question. You want your child to be "comfy" or alive? 😠
Too much bullshit. My kid I make my decision. What ever my kid feeling comfortable with it. If he doesn’t wanna go in the car Seat that find with me. Because he is 15 years old 😂😂😂
