How long do you guys keep your kids rear facing? My daughter will be 3 in September and I still rear face her, she also hasn’t hit 22 pounds yet either.
My son will be 4 next month and we just switched he's seat around a couple months ago
I hope I don’t sound ignorant but how do you rear face your baby pass 18 months to 2 years?
Me personally I’ve never saw any child rear faced pass about 18 months.
Again I’m curious as I’m carrying my first child and I want all info pertaining to anything that I’ve never experienced while raising the many children I have fostered.
@whereswaldo, I’m aware of the limits and the laws of when to turn them. In my previous comment I stated that I come from a family of giants so to see that people are rear facing their children up to 6 was amazing to me because the children I’m around are giants. I thought it was a trick to being able to properly rear face your child pass the age of 2. However I see that it’s all about the size of your child and their growth.
@camie.90, that is the best plan. :) you never know how fast your kid will grow or how much tear facing will cause issues. So can just try to keep them rear facing as long as you can! :)
@camie.90, ohhhh. Yeah my kids are giants too. Like 99 percentile. I didn’t have seats back then that had limits like today and we made it almost to 3. My 9 year old wears adult sizes 😳
You’re suppose to rear face until at least two but it’s recommended to rear face until they outgrow the rear facing limits on your child’s seat. Unfortunately by 3 my daughter outgrew the rear facing limits.
@alishap1212, you’re welcome! I definitely plan on getting a seat that goes to 50lbs rear facing with my next kid
@maddiesmommy16, it’s pretty awesome I can’t even imagine my daughter being 50’ pounds but it’s so great keep them rear facing as long as possible
It’s up to you! We flipped our son at 2.5.
