This is all really interesting. The information is obviously out there but takes a bit of digging to find. Makes me cringe now thinking back to my own children. All my daycare kids go in forward facing from 18months, prior to that it is rear facing but now I may rethink that. I know when there are multiple children it is helpful to be able to see all the children, but this is the safety of the children we are talking about so I may give it a trial run on my next field trip out in the van.
