RE: Vent
Yes, it is heartbreaking, isn't it?? I was in Target one day and helped a mom (that I met in the car seat aisle) pick out a convertible seat for her 5 month old. Then she told me that they were buying it so that they could turn her forward facing - with their ped's blessing!!! The baby screamed and sometimes threw up a little in her car seat, so the ped told them that they'd be better off turning the car seat forward facing so that she doesn't get sick.
And she reassured me that they weren't going to do it all the time (yeah, right), only on long trips, like when they drive from Chicago to St. Louis. Yep, sure, makes perfect sense now.
The kicker was that her DH (like mine) is a firefighter. Doesn't he know better??? He's seen the horrific possibilities, too.
