I think I would make one for your boys (or two!). Let&#39;s chat about that soon via email. <br /><br />Chrissy - Yes, Daniel faced backward longer than a year, but not quite as long as really he should have. I will have Elsa face backwards until two, per the new guidelines. Here is some info for you: http://www.car-safety.org/rearface.html <br />http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/StayRearFacing.aspx<br />Basically, the child is 5 times safer facing backward as forward. <br />This is something I think is very important.<br /><br />About coats and car seats... they are not safe to be used together, usually. Here is a good link: http://thecarseatlady.blogspot.com/2011/01/coats-n-car-seats-are-not-safe-combo.html Sometimes we have DHH wear a vest with his seat or a fleece jacket, but not his puffy coat. The car seat blankets are what we use because he is unwilling to put his coat on backwards, as the link suggests. Again, this is an issue I think is important, and its not an over reaction, I don&#39;t think.Bethany Haidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12055817016471627038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347828648235569077.post-22361712666106946732012-01-20T17:50:05.817-06:002012-01-20T17:50:05.817-06:00Cute.<br /><br />He is &quot;now&quot; forward facing? Did you keep him rear facing for longer than a year?<br /><br />I can&#39;t imagine taking off coats? I&#39;ve never heard that, and when I look at how the belt is on Gabriel, I don&#39;t see how this is a safety issue?Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16996989419052541584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347828648235569077.post-81963430597112386302012-01-20T15:40:17.970-06:002012-01-20T15:40:17.970-06:00Super cute idea, well if you ever decide to make them and sell let me know I&#39;d for sure be interested.Shelleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03358230869109786915noreply@blogger.com
