	What a powerful video! I just saw this today. Thank you for sharing this info. Peyton hates the riding in the car and I was counting down the days when he can turn 1 and face forward. Now I'm going to keep him rear facing as long as possible! Aby Peyton James 5/7/07

	I know. I posted links to news stories- finally there's some media attention! Ari is STILL rear-facing. he'll be three (!!) next month, but only weights 30lbs & the Marathon is good for rear-facing up to 33lb (or maybe 35lbs? I'll check as he gets heavier, lol)...everyone I know thinks I'm a FREAK bcse Jonah (SIX next month!!!) is in a 5 pt harness (Britax Regent) & Ari is rear-facing. Oh well, I'd rather be a freak & be safe w/ my kiddos...

	i CAN NOT believe that jonah is SIX and ari is THREE. bestill my heart...i feel old when riley turned five, all i could think, of course, was my baby in my arms, in my sling, etc. and now look at him, rough tumble and crazy! i love these little ones. be a freak laura! i have many friends who are 'freaks' about lesser things, and i already had one of them tell ME i was crazy for sending out this info. probably b/c she doesn't think it warrants such attn. who's crazy now? ps--got a babyhawk with maddie moo, and it is one of the best things i've bought myself. love it! just had to tell you.
