The toddler who died in his father's hot SUV in Georgia last month had been switched out of his forward-facing new car seat weeks before his death - even though he was too big for his old one.

Cooper Harris was found dead in his rear-facing car seat in a parking lot in Cobb County, Georgia on June 18 - after sweltering inside for more than seven hours.

His father, Ross Harris, faces a murder charge in the boy's death - but insists he mistakenly left his 22-month-old son inside the car before heading to work at Home Depot.

With the boy in the rear-facing seat, Harris would not have seen his child if he looked over towards it.

sure he would have seen Cooper...........that little boy wouldn't fit and his legs would be going up the back seat.........one look in your rear view mirror would show a pair of legs up the back seat............and why change out the car seat from one he fits in, to one he doesn't..........only one reason...........facing forward, the little boy is not as exposed to the sun and heat ans he would be facing the rear...............raven

I think there's already a thread about this.

it's okay........she has brought even more information, that that little boy HAD BEEN in a front facing car seat, then changed back to a rear facing.........that, to me, definitely shows intent..........................raven

Facing backwards, the coward dad wouldn't have to see the dead child!

There are no appropriate words for this piece of garbage.

Or TWO pieces of garbage.

I thought it might get lost in the other thread. I read that the monster knew the make, model and how much weight would hold the car seat. Now what dad would know that????? Again, he had to smell (not trying to be gross) when he opened the car door at noon. Awful details!

Didn't the mom (or maybe both) say they were frightened to see what he looked like dead?

I didn't mean to criticize.

This topic is so horrific.
