@calebsmommy1121, research has proven that to be very unsafe so I'm hoping more people will learn. Responses like this is why we need to share with other mommies to keep babies safe!
@calebsmommy1121, I'm so glad I learned. The chances of them surviving in a crash that a forward facing baby would be killed in was (something like) 77% for rear-facing. ! And they have so many items to give more leg room/make it comfy for longer :)
My son is 10 months old, he's still rear facing of course and in the big boy seat now but he is 23 ibs and 32 in long. Should I still wait until 2 even though he is so big?? This always confuses me.
@4loves, I got a really nice car seat that grows with him. As of now though he's behind the drivers seat and I drive with my seat all the way up and my knees almost touching under the steering wheel. His car seats very bulky. I can't put in in the passenger all the time Bc SO sits there almost every day and he is 6'4 I can't even get him in in the middle lol but hopefully once he's bigger I will move it to the middle and he can climb in

my son was turned around at a year (at the time they said it was ok) but my daughter will be 2 before she is turned around

Wow 2. Normally ppl change car seats before the child is 2 so they are facing front and not rear

Very true. I wouldn't have known if I didn't just see your posting.

Wisconsin actually just passed a law saying you have to have your child facing the rear of the car for their first 2 years. it's the safest for them!
