We just did at 3.5 years. He was having horrible pains in his legs when we would get him out of his seat, he could barely walk. Think his legs where falling asleep because he could not move them. I wanted to keep him there till 40lbs but I could not see it working. Had to wait long enough till he was 30lbs a month again. That's the law here 30lbs.
He’s still rear, and I’m aiming for at least 3, 3.5/4 if I can push it. He’s well beyond the law requirements in NJ, but it’s safest to keep them rear as long as possible. In our new car there’s more room so I may get away with rear facing for longer now.
Thank you ladies my son just turned 4 today and he’s small for his age so I still want him rear facing just didn’t know if 4 was to big for rear facing.
4 Is’t to big to rear-face, I am join in this car safely group, there are moms on there that still rear-face there 8 year old cause they are still small.

I recently turned my youngest around because she stole her sister's seat and we switched vehicles. At her height, her seat didn't for rear facing.

Not at all. My son is big for his age but still within the seat limits, so I’ll keep him rear for a while longer.

Laws are the minimum requirement. The longer the better tbh. Babies bodies are safer in the event of an accident rear facing.
