The most common myths about RWF car seats. How to convince the unconvinced to drive your child in the back?

Parents are bursting with pride as their child grows more mature and independent. First dinner, first step, word, riding in the stroller, changing the car seat to the forward-facing one... Coming soon. Moment. Stop. A baby who is 6-7 months old and sitting up is not yet ready for such a model. According to experts, children should ride rear-facing preferably until 4. year old. And here begins the parade of myths that have grown up around the RWF seat. How parents argue their reluctance to carry toddlers in backwards? Check it out for yourself!

Myth 1: "In such a car seat, the child can't see anything"

An adult usually sits behind the wheel or in the passenger seat - in short, in front. Thus, in front of him he has a huge window and an almost unobstructed view. Now try moving behind the front seat for a moment. What you see? Just... seat and side windows, with a fast-moving landscape of. Let's experiment further: get back behind the wheel and try a backward turn. Of course you will only see the back of the seat. Then, once again, go to the rear couch and remove the headrests for added effect. You even get a panoramic view of the rear window and access to the side windows.

Myth 2: "You can't see the baby."

There are special headrest-mounted mirrors, so you can maintain eye contact with your child. Parents also mention that in a forward-mounted seat, it is easier to give the baby a pacifier, drink or snack. Well, this myth can also be debunked: rWF car seats , unlike FWF, they have a headrest close to the front seat. Thus, it is not necessary to go far, so that the pacifier finds its way back to its owner. And the snack argument? Well - while driving, drinking and eating is dangerous, so it's better to give it to the child at rest stops or at least pull over to the side of the road.

Myth 3: "Where should the child keep his feet?"

Parents' and children's experience with RWF seats shows that their users do very well. They sit in a Turkish chair, straighten their legs on the back of the chair and they come up with thousands of combinations that are comfortable for them. In a forward-facing seat, the legs can only dangle and... suffer as adults do after sitting on a high kitchen chair for a long time.

Myth 4: "My child doesn't like to ride in the back."

This is the most popular argument against RWF seats. It is based primarily on the experience of using the 0-13 seat. A child who protested while driving, calms down after being moved to the forward-facing seat as if by magic. Based on this, parents conclude that the toddler prefers forward riding. Just how is he supposed to consciously choose this direction of travel when he has been traveling backwards since birth and knows no other way? The problem lies in the position taken in the 0-13 seat. Curious about the world, the child does not want to stare at the headliner, so he loudly shows his displeasure. In the next car seat sits more upright and can watch the world outside the window. The direction of travel has no meaning here.
