I had a 2020 Hyundai Kona EV, have a 2013 Toyota RAV4 EV, & will be getting my 2022 Tesla Model Y in about a week. I have a 20 month old toddler and wife is pregnant again. my toddler is on the small side so she'll be rear facing for a while and the new baby will be rear facing too. Toddler's infant years were spent in a Kona EV and I was scared to accelerate hard. Every once in a while I'd forget and look back and see her neck go forward, I was YIKES and felt terrible!
I've tried googling for any studies or doctors discussing the issue and nothing comes up remotely close. I get articles about power wheels when looking up babies and electric cars, ugg! I know some people say just the swinging motion of a baby swing can cause neck injuries!
Car seats are rear facing to prevent the babies head from flying forward in a frontal collision. but with a seat facing rearward the childs head will whip forward.
I'm NOT looking for hearsay or public assumptions. I understand all the different thoughts about this subject. I ONLY want any info people might have found in reference to any kind of studies OR doctors commenting on the subject!
Keep it factorial!
PLEASE PROVIDE REFERENCES!
