We'll look at the guide, thanks.Jennifer Beaty (Thompson)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03362639383721753180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2604858677067872125.post-80975738882420646002016-03-08T12:26:42.606-08:002016-03-08T12:26:42.606-08:00Hello!

I love seeing how your family has grown and that yall are doing so wonderful! The picture of Lydia in the car caught my attention because she is forward facing in her seat. It is actually against WA State law for a child under 2 to ride forward facing unless they have outgrown their seat. It is SO much safer for little ones to be retrained rear facing for as long as possible. It looks like there may be a few other things that could better insure her safety as well, I am no expert and they are your childenm but please look at: http://csftl.org/why-rear-facing-the-science-junkies-guide/<br />and decide what works best for your family!
