For everybody forward facing before 2 years old - please Google internal decapitation.
The head of the child separates from the spine in case of impact and immediately dies.
It is no joke!
The leg position is a very common complaint of care givers to forward phase.
However, the position of the legs do not bother the kids and are in less risk of breaking them during impact

Morning to you all,
I look after my GS once or twice a week, he is 18 months tomorrow, but lately when I go to my DS house to look after him for the day he clings to his mothers leg & cries ! 
GS is very, very close to my DiL & now seems to realise when Nanny comes to visit his Mammy is off to work. I know it is silly but I am really upset by this, is this what is called separation anxiety in a toddler?
Another thing, the way my DiL speaks to me 
, nothing I buy or do is ever good enough, I recently purchased a car seat to be able to take GS out & about, she took my keys for my car, I followed & slated the car seat I bought, I really should have said something but TBH I get so upset & cry at the slightest thing lately. I'm going through the menopause ATM & the slightest thing sets me off . Any advice would be much appreciated, thank you all.
