Someone posted on my FB page a screed about be sure to face your babies backwards in a car ... it's safer and etc.
Which sounds good, but ...
what kind of an adult emerges from a human body that had four years of reverse ambulatory indoctrination ?
The FB screed made me think and contemplate the idea and I looked to see if there are any stats on the subject .... and I found none
When my kids were babies, I had the baby seat in the center of the bench seat. Baby spent the ride looking at mommy and daddy on either side. No air bags to worry about back then, though.
