AJ will be 2 in 21days Chat Icon
and she's still rear facing. I figure she's already learned how to climb in there (some feat I might add) so why bother her now?

Its obviously not hurting her.

I don't think I'll make it to the new year though. I am pretty sure we'll turn her around by xmas.

At the time we turned the seat facing forward the recommendation was still 1 yo but we were told when we got the seat inspected to wait until he was 15 months. And we did weight until he was 15 months. I would have waited longer if the recommendations were those of now.

I voted other because you should decide based on the weight and heigth of your child as far as remaining rear facing. Most 2 year olds I know look like my 1 year old. My oldest weighed 33 pounds at 12 months and was off the chart with height. I switched him forward facing maybe at 13 or 14 months.
