Företagsfakta
Raising awareness in Australia of the importance of keeping babies rear-facing in the car for as long as possible. Many parents turn their babies forward-facing at 6 months because the law says they can, unaware that this could put their baby at risk of serious neck injury in a frontal collision. The safest way for babies to travel in the car is rear-facing until the rear-facing weight or height limit of the car-seat is reached.
Beskrivning
Community of mums, dads, grandparents, friends and car-seat professionals who are dedicated to changing the way Australian babies and young children travel in the car. Other countries in the world strongly recommend rear-facing to 2 years and even 4 years of age and beyond. We believe that Australian children deserve the same level of safety as their international cousins. We are determined to bring about this change in Australia soon. Please join us in this important mission.
Allmän information
Rear-Facing Down Under was founded by a mother of five from New South Wales. The page was originally started to help share rear-facing information with other mums in a birth group as their babies all reached 6 months of age; an age when many parents were considering turning their babies forward-facing. Since then, the group has flourished with members joining from Australia and around the world; including many car-seat installers.
Vision
To keep every Australian child safe in the car and to make every Australian family aware of the safest way for babies to travel in the car. To drastically reduce the number of injuries and fatalities to babies and young children involved in car crashes. To educate parents on the importance of rear-facing their young babies to the maximum allowed weight or height limits of their car-seat. Extended rear-facing is still a relatively new concept in Australia. Together we can all help spread the word and make extended rear-facing the new "norm" in child safety.
Please “like” this page and invite all your family and friends to “like” it too, so that all Australian parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and care-givers can be fully informed of the best way to keep our precious cargo safe in the car. Every Australian family deserves to be made aware of this life-saving information which could quite literally safe the life of a child. Help spread the word around Australia. Happy parenting and happy motoring!
