Published: The American Academy of Pediatrics updated its guidelines for child passenger safety in April 2011, recommending children stay in rear-facing car seats until age 2. But a new report shows many parents turn their childâs seat to face forward before then. In May 2011, the C.S. Mott Childrenâs Hospital National Poll on Childrenâs Health asked parents of children 7 to 48 months old about their use of rear-facing car seats. The study found 73 percent of parents put their child in a forward-facing seat before age 2; 30 percennt turned their childâs seat to face forward before age 1.
