The importance of extended rear-facing

Please check out this post on The Baby Standard.  It is so important and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in Ashland who understands that.  I did flip Everett's carseat around for about a week and then the mommy guilt got to be too much.  He didn't fight me any less about getting into the car and the weather dried up so there weren't any more muddy shoes, so I said screw it!  He's going back to rear-facing.  He didn't care one bit about the change and still fights me when I put him in the car, but sits content while we drive.  Everett's carseat has a 35 lb and 50" maximum for rear-facing, so that's what I am determined to do.
