Should your front facing toddler be turned around?

When moving my son from his infant seat to his "big boy" carseat, I discovered that the safest position for him was rear-facing. Not only to age 1 as most people believe, but until age 2 at the earliest. He is now 15 months old, and has always been rear-facing.
I have gotten questions and comments "About time to turn him around!", but have always been eager to share the information I read. Which is that the most common type of vehicle collision, and most dangerous, occurs at the front of the vehicle. In which case, a child who is forward facing would suffer more severe injuries than a child who is rear-facing. I could go on, but there isn't a need. The AAP has finally changed their carseat regulations. You can find the report HERE.

From the report: "A 2007 study in the journal Injury Prevention found that children under age two are 75 percent less likely to die or to be severely injured in a crash if they are rear-facing. Another study found riding rear-facing to be five times safer than forward-facing."

75% less likely to be injured or killed!! That statistic is staggering. If you have a child under the age of two, please keep them rear-facing as long as their seat will allow.
