3 reasons I hate forward facing

We just turned Gavin around FF last week.  19 mos of RF and I really want to go back.  Here's why:

1.  He now screams everytime we stop.  He's fine as long as we are moving but he gets really pissed at red lights.  I can totally sympathize- but really, this is so annoying.

2.  The carseat is tethered to the roof of our CRV in the middle.  It squeaks when I drive on the interstate.  I will be trying some WD40 this week but if that doesn't help... he's got to move to one of the sides which is not nearly as safe :-(.

3.  And most importantly, he can now see when I am eating in the car.  And he wants some too.  Is it too much for mommy to enjoy her ice cream in peace? 

P.S.  I DID buy him some ice cream too... I just made him wait till we got home to eat it.  I know, I'm Mommy Dearest.

    Can you turn him back? DS sat FFing once in someone else's car and he didn't care when he went back to RFing.

    I felt the same way when we FF at one year. She would cry and get restless easily and she would also want what I am eating. So annoying! She would have already eaten her breakfast and want mine when I'm driving to work.

    Yeah, DH is itching to turn her around for some reason.  She's not even 20 lbs yet, so we're staying RF.  And as far as I'm concerned, we're staying that way until she's too uncomfortable.

    No....wire....HANGERS!!!!  (Sorry, couldn't resist Stacie!)

    Sorry Gavin is having a hard time with the new view; I hope things improve quickly for you guys!  And hope the WD40 helps...no idea what to tell you re: ice cream.  Eat faster?  ;)

    LOL! I totally feel you on #3. The other thing that is cute/annoying all in one is that he LOVES when we pass cow or horses(yes that is how OTP we live lol) but then he FREAKS OUT when he can't see them anymore b/c we passed them. That happens with EVERYTHING he likes to look at. When he was RF he couldn't see squat.
