Our kids rode sitting under the back windshield or playing with each other around the driveshaft hump in the back floor board.

Guess we'd be felons now.

I remember doing the same thing with my sisters in the big station wagons we had at the time - front seat, back seat, rear-facing rumble seat in the far back, wherever we wanted to be.

Same here, under the back glass of my parents 70' fastback Mustang from Bartlesville to Prague.....................but to answer the question I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure it was way before two years old.

Oh, I was probably in my mom's arms or sitting on the seat between her and my dad.

I know that's not a serious answer, but I'm sure others will be along shortly to provide those

At one year we turned the seat around. The rear facing can be hazardous to children that are too large to be rear facing. Basically, in the rear facing mode, the seat should surround the child like a cup against the seat back in the event of an accident. If the child is large enough that the seat cannot fully encompass them, it may be more dangerous to face rearward than to face forward. I don't know what is available in Moore, but in Broken Arrow, the fire stations used to evaluate the seats for you. You might check with local hospitals, pediatricians or police to see if someone there has that service for you.

I thought this was a thread about backhanding or something.
