when did you make the switch to front-facing? Or maybe I should say how long will you keep them rear-facing?
DD is still rear-facing but just went through a major growth spurt and her legs are so long now! It's getting to the point where it doesn't look very comfortable for her.
Re: Those who kept LO rear-facing
The length of their legs really has nothing to do with their comfort. Kids can be in positions that would be incredibly awkward and even painful for adults, but it's nothing to them.
My DS is almost 29 months and still happily RF. DD is almost 5 and still technically fits RF in both of our seats and she's 43".
I have a pic of her RF in our TrueFit for demo- I'll find it
ETA:
I am still RF mine, his legs don't stay straight while in the seat, but he does not complain (and trust me he'll let me know if he is uncomfortable, I don't have to decide for him)
I am not sure how long I will, my thinking is until he is too big (we have a tall seat and the weight limit is 35 and we are no where close to that) OR if he starts to freak out in the car then I would try to see if FF would make him happy, but so far he has been fine w/ it and he is now 2 yrs old.

Both boys were born w/ hirschsprung's disease, you find yourself facing this dx, please feel free to ask me any questions.
DS was rear facing until 2 weeks ago. He's a long kid and I don't think he was ever uncomfortable, he just bent his legs.
DS is 26 months and still RF. He seems fine, so I guess I have no idea when we'll turn him. He's only 25 pounds so I figure we'll hit the height limit before the weight limit. Anytime after 2.5 I'll probably think about it.
