Hello PS Mommies!! 
I've been MIA and terrible about keeping in touch with you all, but came back today to post the new car seat recos from the AAP. Many PS moms already follow these guidelines, but I figured I'd post it here now that it's been officially reco'd:
http://www.aap.org/advocacy/releases/carseat2011.htm
New advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) will change the way many parents buckle up their children for a drive.
In a new policy published in the April 2011 issue of Pediatrics (published online March 21), the AAP advises parents to keep their toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat. It also advises that most children will need to ride in a belt-positioning booster seat until they have reached 4 feet 9 inches tall and are between 8 and 12 years of age.
I hope you all are well!
