Not that this has anything to do with anything but I just thought I'd mention that babies are no longer moved into fwd facing car seats until they are 20lbs AND 1 year old.
Yes, I don't think this was the rule at the time, but believe me, I was nervous about moving him at such a young age to the front-facing seat...but his paediatrician told me to. I would guess that he weighed about 30 lbs at a year old, so he would have been totally overflowing that rear-facing seat.
I'm glad that they continuously review and revise these types of safety standards. My mother has said that when I was little, they had to PAY EXTRA to have seat belts installed in the back seat of their new car, because they were considered optional equipment...
