Quick carseat question!!
We are installing the roundabout tonight and the instructions say "use only in rear-facing position when using restraint with an infant weighing less than 20lbs"  I thought it was up to a year or more??? Chelsea weighs 21 lbs....do I still rear face her???
ETA: She is 7 months....

Re: Quick carseat question!!
how old is she? rear facing is the safest for as long as possible.

Re: Quick carseat question!!
From everything I have read they have to meet the weight AND age requirements.

Re: Quick carseat question!!
7 months - def. needs to be rear facing. Keep her that way as long as possible - it's the safest.

It does....I made my DH read it thinking maybe my vision was off
I am just going to call them and make sure....For now it is rear-facing.

I edited above with some info.  We still have our Roundabout rear-facing and DD is 13 1/2 months and 25 lbs.
