Is anyone else's LOs feet already touching the seat whilst in their car seat? Only 7months, not the tallest baby...we did want to keep rear facing until at least 2/3 years but if feet at touching now what will they be like at 12 months.
It's a Joie 360.

Mine was the same.
I've just swapped her to a maxicosy 360, which is a lot more adjustable.
Her head was also starting to come out the top of the car seat, too, but she's a loooong skinny miss, and the seat was only up to 1 year old.

That's a very common concern when you see their little legs touch the seat, but you have nothing to worry about.
It is absolutely normal and safe for their feet to touch the back seat at 7 months, and it will still be safe when they are 1, 2, and even 3 or 4 years old. My 3 year old is still rear facing and her legs are bent, or she'll cross them.
Car seat safety experts strongly recommend keeping a child rear-facing for as long as possible—ideally until they hit the maximum height or weight limit of their specific car seat (often up to 4 years).
In the event of a crash, their legs are safer folded up this way. A young child's neck and spine are still developing, and the rear-facing position best protects them by spreading the crash forces across their entire back.
I hope this helps, don't panic 🥰
