Don’t attack me please. Lol
When did you turn your child forward facing? I keep getting mixed answers online and his doctors office recommends at 2.
Back story to why I’ve been thinking of it the other day we were going to leave somewhere it took me 15 minutes to get him into his car seat cause he was mad and didn’t want to leave and he kept wrapping his legs around the seatbelt of the car cause it’s stretched out for him being rear facing still.
Call the state police department and ask what the laws are. All my kids was before 2.
As others said check your car seat limits and your state laws. Mine is 40 pounds or 40” neither of which my 2.5 year old is anywhere near so he still is stuck rear facing until then since it is safest for him.
My daughter will be 3 in November and still has about 15 pounds to gain before we flip her since she’s only about 25 now!
2 is the minimum. My kids will be rear facing until they max out their seats. If I feel it’s too soon I might buy new seats
I just checked for his car seat it’s 40lbs and he is 30 so we’ll continue rear facing
The minimum is age 2. But even the AAP recommends going beyond IF your carseat allows it. It's been proven that it is 5x safer to be rearfacing.
That being said.
I turned my youngest a little after 2. We changed cars and her carseat no longer fit safely while rearfacing
Also check local state laws as well. Most states are Changing their to age 2.
My son is 3 and still rear-facing he is comfortable as can be👌🏼🙂❤️👦🏼👣He only weighs 28pounds so, he will be rear-facing for a long time. He won’t hit 40lbs until he is 6 years old, I am very happy about that cause I know he will be safe in his car seat.
