Closed Make rearfacing car seats a legal requirement until four years old

Closed on

I, and many others, believe that rearfacing car seats until a minimum of 4 years old should be a legal requirement. This is the practice in many Scandinavian countries because it is safer.

These are just two sources which promote and explain why rear facing is safer than forward facing in car seats. Please feel free to do your own further research into the matter.
