My rear facing seats have surrounding rails with a gate in the back and he wanted the picture to take issue with the new regulation with his supervisor.
He allowed us to continue and promised to look me up when a final decision came down.
That's sounds completely ridiculous! I have the same setup in my Bennington. Why on earth would rear facing loungers within the playpen and rail be any issue whatsoever!?? As a matter of fact and as you know the smoothest and safest ride is in the stern! Lawmakers and legislatures really need to get a life and should be working on way more important items than this. Your tax dollars hard at work!
