Yesterday, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Highway Traffic Administration updated their recommendations on car seats including keeping toddlers rear facing until age 2, and having kids ride in car seats as old as age 12. I have always felt that many parents were allowing their children to ride in a vehicle without the proper seat belt – once they reached a certain age. I have also been accused of making Eben use a car seat when others feel that he is simply too old for one (he is almost 10). However, after reading the new car seat recommendations on how long children should stay in one, I smiled. I just knew that keeping Eben in a car seat was a safer option, and I am glad that the recommendations have been changed. Read what I found out about the new recommended guidelines on car seats and join the discussion. Will you Follow the New Car Seat Recommendations?
