RF or FF in Car Seat

[penguin129]

Are your J13er's RF or FF in their car seats? I tried FF DD yesterday because she meets the requirements to FF but it resulted in her throwing up 3 times. She is getting over an ear infection so I am not sure if that has anything to do with her throwing up because of lack of balance etc. I changed her back to RF and will try again later to FF her. When do you plan to FF if you aren't already? Has anyone toddlers had issues with FFing?

Recommendation (for safety) is minimum 2 years, so we won't even consider it until after that. Some advocate for 4 (but that seems extreme to me). Also in proper use states I believe it is until they outgrow the RF guidelines.

Thank you. I will possibly now even try for longer than that.

I still have DD rf too. My car seat goes to 45lbs rear facing, so I'll probably wait til she's near that weight or I have another baby...whichever comes first. Hope your daughter was just vomiting due to her ear infection and not due to motion sickness.

I won't even consider switching until at least 2 since that's the current recommendation. She'll probably be RF until she's closer to 3, or possibly older. Why add such a serious risk just for convenience sake or just because you can?
