Everyone still rear facing their almost 2 year olds? When do you forward face them?

Question

I have the 4 ever Graco car seat. My son is super long !

Answer

We’re staying rear facing as long as possible. We have the graco 4ever as well and I believe it’s rated for up to 45 or 55 lb rear facing. We’ll probably turn her around sometime near when she’s 3 or 4, but there’s no way she gets too heavy for it. 
I worried about the length issue too but according to everything I read the risk of leg injuries from being “too tall” for rear facing is still much much lower than the risk of head, neck, or spine injuries from forward facing too soon. I’ll take the possible broken leg over the possible head/neck/spine injury any day! 
It’d actually be safer even for adults to be rear facing but obviously that wouldn’t make sense for drivers 😂 so we’re keeping her rear facing as long as possible, or really, as long as she’ll let us!

Answer

17 months. My dude would SCREAM AND SCREAM in the car and it was so distracting. It stopped immediately when I turned him. I tried everything to keep him rear facing....toys, paci, food, milk, even a DVD player.

Answer

20 months 🤷‍♀️

Answer

No, we flipped him around at 16 months.

Answer

Yes and we have the graco 4ever as well. We will keep rear facing until he meets length and weight requirements. He doesn’t seem to mind it, anyway

Answer

We're still ok with one car but our smaller car has him bending his legs pretty far so we just started talking about if we should turn that one around... not sure yet
