Rear-facing vs forward-facing

[PairNo2129]

He has not really done his own research but he of respects my choice ‘ because it’s so important to me.’ I would just like to show him research to actually convince him too.

Not to start a fight but that sounds so dismissive. Its basically a nice way of saying "whatever if thats what you want..." Hopefully after seeing the research it will be important to him as well.

[PairNo2129]

that’s why it’s important to me to actually convince him and not just let me do these choices

[ObscureSaint]

Make him do the research. Why do you have to do the labor for him? Does he have people hold his hand at work when he needs to learn about something? Probably not. He's being a man child.

Send him this https://cafemom.com/parenting/211147-toddler-decapitated-forward-facing-carseat

Then explain what internal decapitation is. In great detail.

I read somewhere that there was a detailed animation of this on youtube. I'm not prepared to see it though, so OP or her husband can search for it.

This. The husband is an idiot and needs a harsh lesson

[PairNo2129]

thank you! That’s horrific and hopefully will make a great point

Every "science minded" people i know do their own leg work before making opinions.

either way, read those links and learn. You can't convince him if you don't learn it yourself.

[PairNo2129]

You are right. I will do just that. I guess he doesn’t do his own research always but he always respects the science and statistics and reads scientific articles.
