(Transportation-News.com, September 23, 2014 ) Las Vegas, NV -- Back in 2007 a study was published in the journal "Injury Prevention,"·which found that children under the age of two were 75% less likely to die or become severely injured in a crash if they were seated in a rear-facing safety seat. At the time a leading US pediatric physician said that rear-facing child safety seats did a much better job of supporting the head, neck and spine of babies and young kids during a crash, as they distributed the force of the collision over the entire body.
But today the fact is that parents seem to have forgotten all of that good advice seeing forward-facing as the easier option. It goes without saying that it's so much easier to interact with a child while facing forward, and much less awkward to reach for in the seat. But shouldn't safety be parent's main concern? Shouldn't they consider a child's complete protection first over their own comfort?
Mr Neil Speight, co-founder of Nevada based company "Freddie and Sebbie," was recently asked those questions, who replied... "By law it is minimally acceptable to switch the safety seat to forward-facing position at a year, but I really believe parents can do better than that, as safety really should be their major concern when it concerns children. Regarding comfort, I can quite understand how parents feel about a need for the closet contact possible with their babies, even when driving, so being able to see them through the driver's mirror is a comforting bonus."
He went on to explain how he found a solution that would allow parents to have visual contact when required for babies sat in a rear-facing safety seat... "I realized that by placing a mirror facing my baby twins called Freddie and Sebbie, that I would be able to see them with the driver's mirror correctly positioned. After a brief conversation with my design team manager, (the company) Freddie and Sebbie created an extra large 360-degree adjustable baby car mirror, which rotates and pivots to have the perfect view of a rear-facing baby or toddler."
Mr Speight said how important he thought it was to keep children in a rear-facing seat for as long as possible, and how he hoped that his company's new product would help parents to make the right decision, if anything else, but for their own children's safety. He had this additional advice for parents... "First, all parents need to consider switching their child back to rear-facing if they aren't already. As far as the safety seat is concerned, just make sure it's harnessed tightly to the car. Also be sure the harness is snug over the child and that the chest clip is positioned correctly, and finally check that either the seat belt or latch system are correctly installed."
So once again "Freddie and Sebbie" have come to the rescue of parents needing sensible solutions for their babies and toddlers. Neil finished off by saying... "I believe the back seat mirror to be the perfect solution for those parents who are worried when they can't see their baby while they're driving." The Freddie and Sebbie backseat mirror is exclusively available on Amazon.com.
