I routinely had 8+h drives in the rear-facing seat of my family's circa 1970 Plymouth Satellite station wagon growing up. Completely unsafe, and very boring, but I don't recall barfing.
replyMy sister and I would pass the time folding up a piece of paper and each of us got to draw part of a person without seeing what the other had drawn. Sort of like visual madlibs.
Congratulations, you don't have motion sickness. I think that post was referring to those who do.
replyFor those people, rear-facing seats can exacerbate motion sickness. See e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00036...

replyI am curious: Unsafe because a " 1970 Plymouth Satellite" or because "rear-facing seat"?
London Taxis have been configured this way since at least the 1950s and people don't seem to have any problem with it?
replyPlenty of transit all around the world has backwards-facing seats.
replyYes but usually you know which seats will be rear-facing.
