In a crash, a rear-facing baby is much less likely to be killer or injured and that should be a greater consideration that which window they look out of. My son is 2 and still rear-facing, and he'll stay rear-facing until he outgrows this carseat. I wish car seat makers would make a bigger deal of extended rear-facing being safer.
