A few weeks ago I shared a post in which I told them that although I appreciate the opinions and concerns of others, my daughter will continue going back at least until 4 years.
And despite the fact that each year they create more campaigns to raise awareness, there are still many people who still do not know the importance of taking children to counteract as long as possible, and usually ask some questions or comments in which they question us the reasons for doing so or give us arguments to try to convince us to turn them in the direction of the march.
That's why I now share some answers for those comments in which we are questioned why we keep taking them backwards.
In the article I mentioned at the beginning, I included some of the most common questions and observations that I have received when people realize that my daughter is sitting in the opposite direction at the age of three. Many of those comments come mainly from misinformation.
So I decided that it would be a good idea to share the answers we can give you in another article, because in this way we can be ready to give you a brief and clear answer about the doubts or comments about it. I share the most popular and what you can answer.
Why do you bring him backwards?
The first thing we should to clarify to them is that it is not going backwards, it is going to reverse. Because the common thing in movies or in previous years was to take them in the direction of the march, many people when they see the seat backwards think that we are doing it wrong because it is not what they are used to.
We will then have to explain to you that this is how the first four years should go at least, since it is the safest way and that indicated by the professionals.
Turn it over, it's already a year old.
Although the first year of age marks the beginning of some things and the end of others, not necessarily everything changes when the first 12 months of life of our children arrive.
In the case of child restraint systems, we must be guided mainly by the weight and size of each child, not so much by age.
Look how he has his legs "made ball."
Other variants of this phrase are: "It barely fits, and put it as it should go" Y "Poor, you bring him there suffering all tight"There is a belief that as children grow up, their legs no longer have enough space to go comfortable, because they touch the back of the seat on which the child seat goes backwards.
However, there is evidence that children are not uncomfortable and can accommodate their legs in different ways without being disturbed or harmed. For sample, some images:
New Post! The day came… goodbye #acontramarcha More than 5 years and being an especially great child, I am happy to have given him the possibility of going so safe. Grateful to everyone who made my son (now both) #acm in the car. But I feel fearful about this new #afm stage, although we have tried to get the best chair and I am convinced that @nordicbaby has got it for us.

We joined the yoviajoseguro campaign because safety comes first, because they are not older to go in favor of the march, because the legs fit perfectly, because they have full visibility, because they are very comfortable, because the chairs fit in any car ( before I had a Peugeot 306 of the year 93!), because they must go against the gear until 4 years, because saying that they are expensive is not an excuse, we are able to buy 1000e carts on a simple whim, because nobody is free to suffer an accident , because we must be aware, because it is everyone's job to get all the kids to travel backwards #niunpequemasenpeligro #viajaacontramarcha #laseguridadvialesloprimero #porgabrielytodoslospequesquehansufridounaccidente

#yoviajoseguro Our story: When April was born I already knew that the best thing was to go against the march as long as possible, so we took the best chair that fit us at that time, a group 0/1 (Concord Ultimax) that has given us It worked very well because my daughter is thin. When Emma was going to be born we went to the same store to inform us, where we were testing the chairs (A triofix of that time) and when we had them already assembled (Thanks to Todonenes for your help) we realized that it was impossible to put a newborn in a three doors with two chairs against reverse. So we had two options: buy another car or buy a shield chair, a BMW 1/2 that wore its own belt, in total, we thought "we barely used the car with them and it has already gone two years." The correct decision would have been the first, instead of waiting to save money, having bought the car at that time, but at that time I had part-time, MA has just started working full-time and we prefer to save as much as possible to that I could take leave of absence (until Emma was 16 months old). A couple of years later I learned about Gabriel's overwhelming story, I realized that our decision was wrong and I did everything possible to correct it. We went to @ nordicbaby and tested if the girls could get on and off alone. That's how it went. And I have felt real relief that our wrong decision had no major significance. If I share an article I find the punishment I don't do it because I want the parents who punish to feel bad, but because I think there is another way of doing things. When I share articles about the chairs acm it is because I want to report something that I believe, not to judge. My biggest fear is not being able to protect my daughters, not really protecting them, not from injuries or disappointments ... Thanks to all those who try to raise awareness about the counter-march, I know it's not easy, I know what you're facing ... And thanks special and a huge hug to Gabriel's parents, turning your duel into this fight is the most beautiful thing I've seen, a true act of love. <3

Do your kids travel #acontramarcha? Today for the second time we are campaigning on Twitter to give visibility to the importance of doing it as long as possible. For this we will share photos of our kids not so small under the motto #yoviajoseguro If you have a picture of your little girl traveling #acm add a "Y YO" and tweet it! If you don't have it, can you make a screenshot of mine? Help us? It is very important to reach more people better! Because car safety travels backwards!

Do you always wear it like that?
Yes always. It doesn't matter if it's a short trip, a long trip or if we're just going to the corner. If we travel in another person's car or on their own. Your chair accompanies us to all the places where it fits because The safety of our children will always be a priority and even on the shortest trips an accident could occur.
How bad you are, you leave her alone back there.
This really only applies in the case of those who have only one child, because those who have more than one insurance travel with the brothers side by side and keeping company.
However still, There are many ways to accompany our children even if we are not sitting next to them or can see us directly. Singing, talking and playing are some of the things we can do so that they know we are there and feel always accompanied.
What if none of this works? We can always rely on technology to entertain them from time to time so they don't get bored or despair.

Turn it over so you can see them, you're sure to be afraid to leave like this.
Yes, they can see us so that they are not afraid of turning backwards. They sell special mirrors to take in the seats of the car and that children and babies who are going to backlash can see the parents. That way they will always know that we are close to them even if they don't see us directly.

These have been some of the phrases and questions that I have received or read more on the subject of having to explain to other people why our children are going to backlash.
Did you think the answers were good? What questions or comments would you add?
