Yay for clicky polls!
I plan to RF as long as possible. I don't see any downside to it right now. Now that I drive a minivan, he's got a great view out of the window, even RF. On long car trips if we need to distract him with the tv, he either turns his head to see the built in one, or we give him the iPad to hold. He can hand me things over the top of the car seat and vice versa if needed.
I love CPs but I cannot figure out how to do it. Even when I go to web view it's being weird. So another vote for RF. I will hold out as long as she is comfortable. I kind of have to taco her to get her in there bc she is long but not as long as N was whom we switched around 2yo.
I'm so sick of the RF. And now add wet winter boots to the equation!
We are debating turning around. LO is small so it's not a size issue just more convenience which isn't the best reason obviously to go FF. I feel like we always aim for 2 years (which is better than what most people do) but never quite make it.

They changed the law here in NJ so that they have to be rear facing until they are 2 and weigh at least 30lbs. Our seat does rear facing up to 45lbs and I'd prefer to keep her that way longer but DH wants to turn her around already.
In my car, we will RF as long as possible. H's truck doesn't have as much room in the back so we will probably FF in there once she hits 2. RF is going okay in there right now, but no one can sit in the front passenger seat because it has to be pushed up all the way. She is hardly ever in his truck anyway.
As for muddy and snowy boots, I have a towel covering the back of the seat. You can buy those covers but a towel works just as good!
RF although she will be turned around soon in H's truck unfortunately. We can't fit both seats in his car with her to. I put my foot down that she has to be 2 before we turn her seat around in the truck I figure we can deal with us it one car for the kids until then it's not that long.
As far as my car we shall see. I don't have a desire to turn her around but I foresee her getting used to forward facing in the truck (although she rarely rides in the truck) and it being daily torture for me in my car.
Fwiw: H has been wanting to flip her, for the visibility aspect, for some time now. I kind of agree. I feel like it's hard to know what's going on back there with her. But safetly is more important so I'm trying to hold out.
