Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Unfortunatly, due to all the laws and the way the seats are made, I don't think there is any way around it. My oldest son, non RSS didn't reach 20 lbs until he was 18 mos and we finally turned it around then. It's a pain and the poor kids have nothing to look at but the seat back. I wish the laws and manufacterers would realize that there are kids out there besides the 'average' and it is not fair to them. The forward facing car seats all have to use the top harness strap when turned forward (except boosters but those straps are pretty high and it's usually 22 lbs and up) and my daughter Autumn (RSS 12 mos) would be lost in it height wise also. mom to Autumn 2 boys and baby on way > > One other question I just thought of, should I keep my son rear- > facing until he reaches 20 pounds, even though he's over a year old? > At this rate, he may not reach 20 lbs until he's 2! > > Thanks! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi , Welcome to the Group. You'll probably have to go with height on when to change to a forward facing car seat. My daughter is 5 years old and she's still not 20lbs quite yet. We were able to take her out of the infant seat when she was 3 years old and too tall for the infant seat. Hope this helps some!
