RF After 2?

sschwege · September 2012

DD's pedi appointment was today and I meant to ask this question, but forgot. Is it better to leave her car seat RF until she maxes out on the weight restriction (40lbs for her seat)? Or do I switch it now since she's two?

It's recommended they stay RFing until they max out the car seat height or weight. FWIW most kids outgrow the height before the weight.

No need to switch it just because of her age, she is still safer rear facing.

Safer to keep her RFing. DD1 is 2.5yo and still RFing, we'll keep her that way until she turns 3.

Ditto pp. DS is almost 2.5 and still RF. He is fairly thin, so he will outgrow the height (1" from the top of the shell) before he outgrows the weight restrictions. We'll switch him then.

That's what I figured, thanks everyone!
