    My pedi said the recs had changed, and that babies should stay RF until 2 years old.  Most convertible carseats can RF from 6 pounds to 30ish pounds.

    20 lbs AND one year.  It's law. 

    It's advised to keep them RF as long as possible.

    I'll be switching mine to FF at 1 year AND 20 lbs.  It's my personal choice.  Beware of the debate on here.

    This is what we plan to do. Even though DS is pretty tall, once his legs get too long he can cross them.

    Check your local laws and manual that came with your seat.  But in general, keep them RF as long as possible.

    This is what my pedi said, too. Legally you can turn baby around at one year AND 20 pounds. Do some research before you decide so that you can see why it's recommended to RF as long as possible.  There are some good videos on youtube.

    This. We will keep him RF as long as possible - his seat RFs up to 40 lbs so as long as his legs are comfortable - he will stay RF.

    Additional dumb question:

    My son's head is starting to go above the top of the infant seat. Is that dangerous? Does that mean to switch to a convertible seat? He's not quite 20 pounds yet, just has a super long torso.
