That’s generally incorrect.

I bought a couple small fans on a single base to mount to the roll bar. Then Corona happened and we havent been taking the kids out so I havent installed it. Whenever I do get around to it, I'll post pics of however I rig it up
Unless it's one of these...
Ehhhhh that's also a bit incorrect. Most seats/states want the kid rear facing until 2 years, yea, but if you go beyond that you better have a heck of a short kid or else they're not gonna fit in a read-facing seat unless it has a huge kick-out for their feet.
I hesitate to post because I'm not into telling other parents what to do with their kids. I just don't want to leave incorrect info out there in this thread when it's such an important topic. Kids can rear face until they are 4 or 5. The expectation is that they bend or cross their legs, they don't need leg room. They won't die from not having leg room, but they may die from their necks snapping forward in a front facing seat.
Like many things in life, there is a balance. Many of you may be like me and survived growing up running loose in the back of a vehicle on trips. But who knows how many more fellow Jeepers we might have with us today if their parents had buckled them up or put them in the proper car seat?
I get we’re not going to change your mind but It’s not incorrect. Disregarding the AAP’s guidance vs saying there “is no way” are not the same.
I, too, feel the need to urge you to reconsider. Young kids are VERY flexible and don't have any problem riding around with their knees bent. In actual fact, my daughter spent the first 3 months of her life in a similar position to fix her hip dysplasia and it didn't bother her one bit. Please keep them rear-facing until they weight or height out of their seat. She's 27 months now and is still quite happy rear-facing despite being like 80-something percentile height/weight.
I appreciate that, but I'm not against taking advice. Thank you for the advice!
I'm sorry you got the impression you're not going to change my mind. I only posted once, so I don't know where you got that from. I don't exactly appreciate you dissecting my rhetoric to make me look stubborn, though. "There's no way" is just an expression I used to convey my belief that she would quickly run out of leg room and was not meant to be taken as me refusing to do something recommended by the government or whomever. I know we live in Facebook culture where people probably overuse that stance all the time, so perhaps that's what you're used to responding to. My daughter will be rear facing until she hits the weight limit for her seat. She's currently 10 pounds under the limit, so I'm sure she'll make it well past 2 years until she hits the weight limit.
I don't know if that was aimed at me, but I'm probably one of the more pro-mask, common sense people you could hope to meet. If you want to judge someone personally or troll, please take it to a different thread not involving children.
This is likely the best, most level-headed and mature response to suggestions/advice in the history of the internet. You rock, dude.
Stick me in the "who knew?" group as well, we moved our daughter to front facing when she ran out of room because she was running out of room and got carsick really bad which immediately stopped when we turned her around.
