We went straight to a no back booster once he could sit up on his own 50% of the time. Occasionally he topples over, but the kid has to learn.
Do you spank him when he topples? I'm not sure how else he would learn otherwise.
Shock collar, yo.

I sure hope you arent seriously thinking about already turning your baby around forward facing. I assume your baby is between 4-6 months since you are on the May 2014 forum...please correct us if we are wrong.
It is NOT SAFE to turn your baby around at this age, no matter how much your baby weighs. Also, it is ILLEGAL in more (maybe all?) states. Please research this a hell of a lot more before making what could be a very deadly decision.
Also, babies dont really "get bored" looking at the seat back...they dont know any different. If you think they are "bored", put a mirror up or give them a toy. Note: most car safety people frown on mirrors and other things that could become projectiles in case of a crash. And, I have seen 3 year olds still rear facing and they dont give a crap if "their legs are cramped". They bend their legs, hang them over the side, cross them...any of that is perfectly safe.
If you baby is growing out of the bucket seat, get a good convertible seat that will rear face then eventually (aka when your baby is OLD ENOUGH) forward face.
Short version: DO NOT TURN YOUR KID AROUND. READ THE LAWS. DO NOT MAKE A DEADLY MISTAKE.

Who pissed in your cheerios? You don't know my lyfe.
And why are you batches all making fun of me?! This was a serious question...I have a chubby baby (all those mashed taters yo!) She needs a bigger car seat and she's big enough to forward face - my pediatrician said so.
I get it now. At least someone wasnt in the loop that today was MUD day so you guys have someone to laugh at. But...Im not really going away and will probably misread sarcasm many more times since I suck at that apparently.
I'd use the sarcasm font, but I think it's sans serif. Right, @typeset ?

Why don't you move it to the front seat, too? Especially if she cries. She should get to decide where she sits in the car.
Totally. Just try and make sure to disable the front airbag.
Nah, that thing is like a soft pillow when you crash. Babe will love it!
Unrelated, slightly related? ....
Did anyone see Homeland on Sunday? Where she has her baby's carseat in the FRONT seat? It's rear facing, but still. I was surprised there wasn't more internet banter about that this week.

Not sure which brand this is but it looks like it should do the trick.

Glidergate all over again. And if you have to ask "what is Glidergate?" then you don't go here.
It won't happen, if we don't send out the bat signal ourselves. Let them come!
Caw caw!
Wait, I think I'm getting my signals crossed.
