Rearfacing...

[judyblume14]

I will not flip L to forward facing until she hits the max height or weight limit for rear facing in our car seats.

So, when she's heading to high school? ;-)

Well, G is already FF in DHs car as of last week so it will probably be when he turns 2 for my car.

We haven't really talked about this yet. DH is all about rear-facing until age 2, but when I bring up rear-facing until 40lb he doesn't seem so thrilled. So we'll see. Right now we only have one car seat, and I am the one to switch it between cars when needed, so I'll just keep on putting it in rear facing.

This exactly in my car.

I'm not certain about in H's car though. He is 6 feet tall and once new baby is in the car, v will sit behind his seat. Currently that puts him way too far forward. If we win the lottery and buy him the car he wants (H has expensive taste in cars and requires cooled seats which really ups the price on pretty much everything) then she will remain rear facing for eternity. If he keeps the same car, she will forward face in February when I go back to work after maternity leave.

I really really want to continue past 2 but MH is ready now, he thinks she will be so much happier,its annoying because she is perfectly fine and I keep telling him it is much safer. So likely at 2 in September

vavavictoria, #2 will make things tricky. I have a tiny car, and L's carseat fits rear-facing in the center seat only. We won't be able to get a second car seat in there. So, until we can afford to buy a new (-to-us) car, whoever has the kids, has to have my H's car.

This was my husband. He had to take the seat out to move something and just put I. Back in front facing. Now he keeps bragging about how much happier g looks in the seat and how he can look at everything while he drives and that he is cooler in the car because the vents can go on him. I will admit he does get pretty hot back there. So I will try to hold off as long as I can but I'm sure it will be in September.

spacedcadet, yeah I can see the same scenario happening here, lol

Its annoying too because other people makes comments like in laws basically hinting why not now? UGH because I don't want to

For all those with hot kids, we use this. Really helps to get air to those rear facing. m.bedbathandbeyond.com/m/product/the-noggle-6-foot-forward-facing-child-comfort-car-system-in-white-grey/1044056643?skuId=44056643&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_baby_&adpos=1o1&creative=43742622109&device=m&matchtype=&network=s&product_id=44056643&gclid=CNScvMSv_s0CFYNsfgodgugOmA
