Yep - my little man has the distinct disadvantage of having parents who have seen the consequences of inappropriate child restraint. He is not exactly huge (and only just at the 8kg anyway) but he will be facing backwards until well after 12 months. There are too many idiot drivers in Sydney that risk me being rear ended. I can't place my child at an increased risk of injury through somebody else's fault when I can prevent some of the risks by keeping him facing the back. He has a mirror to see us and is mostly fine that way. JMO.

Mako - Sage is waaaay too little. You have permission to forehead slap your husband (alternatively - make him watch the video)
