Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Re: Random Click #6

  • I have seen some articles recently, though, that suggest keeping the carseat rear facing for 2 years and I don't know that I would want to do that.

  • Considering Jay is over the 95% for his height I don't know if he would be ok rear facing untill 2.

  • I voted NO and I am even debating on taking my round about back to target because it only goes RF to 35 lbs not 40! I wish I could have found the myride because that goes to 40 RF!
  • That's where Seamus is too. He's so tall. His feet hit the back of the seat in his infant seat already so we're looking for a convertible car seat now so he can be more comfortable. We're thinking the Graco My Ride 65.

  • DS was FF at 14 months at 30 inches and 25 lbs.

    DD will be RF until she reaches 2 years or the max height/ weight  and at least a year of age. (since she's 5th % in weight, I doubt she will hit that by one, lol)

    Do you know what the height requirement is? Jay is already over 29 in.

    I have the tru fit for DD (sitting in her room, lol) it goes to 50 inches both rear/ forward facing and 35lbs rear facing. Here is a website that has that and I beleive other car seat info on it.

  • There's no SS, but for me it would depend on how big my lo is. If he/she is still small I'd keep it rear facing for longer; if he/she was bigger I could understand front facing sooner then 1 year but not before 10 mos.

  • Isn't it law that a LO needs to be rear facing until 1? I'm not going to put my LO at a greater risk of serious injury. Now, the 2 year rear facing suggestion is merely that - a suggestion. My DS is already very close to the height limit on his infant seat and we will be purchasing a convertible in the next couple of weeks. Since he is so tall, I may turn him front facing much sooner than 2 years, but will definitely wait until he is at least 1.

    Not a legit reason to turn them around.

     

    The way I see it he only needs to be RF for 1 years. After that it is at each parents discrestion, no matter what their reasoning.

  • I may FF him before 2 but I won't do it right at 1. He can sit with his legs crossed. It's not uncomfortable for a toddler.

    It may be every parents decision, but I just don't understand why any parent would choose to put their child in a situation where severe injury or death was MUCH more likely. We will be RF until 2 or until he reaches the 40 lb weight limit.

    But what about the LEGS!?!?! They could get broken in an accident!!!!!!!!!! I can live with a broken neck, but legs are another story... ;)

    It's all about neck strength. It's safer for their legs to be up against the seat back then it is to be ff, regardless of height. Sure it's your discretion but I think it's just stupid to turn them around so early. Recommendations are made for a reason.

    He'll be fine. His legs bend. Kate has always been 98% for height (she's 36 inches now at 2.5 and we just turned her a few months ago).
