There are many people around the world who work hard to spread the enormous benefits of rear facing car seats. One of those is Helena who run the popular site Rearfacing.co.uk which has helped tens of thousands of parents in UK learn about rear facing. UK is like most other countries 30 years behind in car seat safety but Helena is changing attitudes quickly. I believe some of the manufacturers who push forward facing for 9-12 month old kids refer to her as a “pain in the a**” which I think is a huge compliment;-)
Helena is right now doing a competition where you can win a rear facing Swedish car seat donated by www.CarSeat.se. Go to rearfacing.co.uk and answer the question “How many times safer is a rear facing car seat in a frontal collision?”. If you don’t know the answer it can easily be found on this site or over at rearfacing.co.uk.
All entries need to be submitted by December 1 2009. Shortly thereafter a rear facing Swedish car seat of your choice could be delivered to your door! We would love for you to get the word out even more about rear facing car seats so we have created a poster promoting this competition. Please download it here and help us by distributing it anywhere you can.
Thank you!
