My SO is so against front facing but my son gets so uncomfortable and kicks and screams until he…

Whenever you feel comfortable... my kid has been front facing since 8 months.

Honestly my son dislikes rear facing too but I'm too terrified to front face him. Have you tried distracting him while driving so he won't get upset? I usually have to sing or play a video for my son

Depends on the state. It is safest until at least 2. My daughter is 37.5 inches and she's still comfy rear facing. I have a mirror so she can see me and vice versa. I let her take her shoes off and put them on the seat next to us til we get to where were going and she usually has a toy, snack or her tablet to distract her on longer rides.

The laws vary from state to state. It’s recommended by the cdc until age 2.

What car seat is he in now? Perhaps a different seat would suit him better. Sorry he’s unhappy. My son fits his but he hates being restricted until he turned 2. Good luck.

Most states require rear facing until 2 (continuing until maxing out the seat height or weight recommendations is best). I know my daughter enjoys the ride more if we mount a mirror for her to see us up front. You could also look into the Graco Extend2Fit which has an extension panel that pulls out to give about 5 more inches of leg room.

8 months...😒 nobody’s going to chime in on that? 🤦🏽‍♀️ lol man I have to stay away from these apps when I’m pregnant 😬

@tennesseehawk I thought I was the only one that caught that

@oceanbabe424, you can inform without being negative though. If she were to have more kids you’d only be doing them a favor by kindly informing their mom what she’s doing is faaaaaar from ok or safe.

@ljsmommy22, he’s hard of hearing so he can’t really hear me and that’s one reason why I’d like to have him forward facing because we have a tv in the car and it would keep him happy and occupied
