A few weeks ago my twin boys turned 7! The have rear faced their whole lives and maxed out their seats by height (125cm). I am so glad I was lucky enough to be educated in car seat safety when they were little and have been able to keep them as safe as possible throughout their childhood years.
Without them I wouldn’t have found my passion for car seat safety and wouldn’t be doing what I do now! We all have to start somewhere and we don’t always know the benefits of rear facing, but I’ll always take a 97% survival rate in a crash over convenience or peer pressure. They are my most precious possession and I’ll always do my best to keep them as safe as I can for as long as I can. When it was time to move to high backed boosters it was important to get them involved. The boys choose their high backed boosters after testing out a few over a number of weeks. Oscar chose the Swandoo Charlie and Dylan chose the Avionaut Maxspace Airflow. Orla is still happily rear facing with many years to go!
