Front Facing Car Seat

It’s 5x safer for them to be rear facing until at least 4 years old

In Pennsylvania where I live you have to have them sit rear facing until they are 2

In most states it is illegal to forward face before 2 years old. It is scientifically safest to rear face until LO maxes out one of the rear facing limits (height, weight, OR head height) of the convertible seat.

My 3.5 year old still rear faces in both my car and my husband's. She will get to practice forward facing when we travel for Thanksgiving because she has maxed out the height limit on her travel car seat.

In the 90s it was common to forward face at a year, but now that we know better we can do better for our own kids.

Not until we have to! The car seat tech that installed it said don't turn it around until she reaches the max for rear facing. They are much safer rear facing!

Leave em rear facing as long as possible its safer♡ and as mentioned above it's illegal most places to forward face before 2!

It is illegal in most states to forward face before 2! That said I'm probably going to see if she is comfortable rear facing a little longer 🤷‍♀️

Update: the page loaded and I read all the comments about it being illegal. Sorry for the repeat!

Extended rear facing is safest. She will be rear facing until she maxes out weight or height in her car seat. If she maxes out before 3 years old I will probably get another car seat.

Your baby is beautiful! Everyone has already said what I would have so I wanted to say how absolutely adorable your baby girl is.

My almost 4 year old is still rear facing. She will only be turning around once she's 4 because my Dec '22 baby is outgrowing her infant seat (she's quite long).
Even if it is legal to forward face at a certain age (often 2, some places at 1 😞) it is not the safest decision to do so. It is best practice and safest to max out the limits of your seat rear facing before turning around.

The group Car Seats for the Littles on Facebook is so helpful for making sure everything is installed properly!

Wait until 4 years old, minimum

I will rear face until he maxes out of all rear measurements. As long as possible

Rear face as long as possible. So much safer!

When she meets height or weight requirements. Don’t let anyone push you to do anything you not ready for or know she not ready for. You already know you know best I hope the comments reconfirmed that

That’s def illegal

In New Zealand it’s law that they must rear face until at least age 2. You can get a fine if you aren’t rear facing them. Because research has shown how incredibly safer it is to rear face.

We are actually told to rear face as long as possible.
I have a really big baby so he’ll probably reach the limit of his rear facing seat around age 2 so we’ll switch him forward once he reaches that weight limit

Until she’s 4 if not longer. Soooo much safer.

Never before 2 years of age, before that it’s unsafe and illegal in most states!
