Turning car seat

I purchased the 360 car seat last year and I didn’t turn it until she really started getting aggravated cause she couldn’t see nothing

It's illegal to turn forward facing before 2. You should really look into internal decapitation and where the body is at, at this age developmentally. There is no need to rush this process. They are safer rear facing until they max out rear facing limits. Why are you trying to do this right now?

It’s honestly safer to keep them rear facing past the age of 2. It doesn’t matter if there legs are basically in the air it’s still safer than forward facing.

I’m not doing it until 2.5 minimum. Child is safest rear facing. I don’t care how uncomfortable he is, the safer the better. Children’s bones are mostly still cartilage at this age and not actual bone. Thus no protection for the spinal cord

We haven't yet, but unless we can somehow find a reasonably priced larger car we will have to this July as my car is too small to have two rear facing seats. He's 92% for height and 89% for weight so he is already in the "can be forward", but "should be rear facing" and I want to keep him rear facing as long as possible.

The whole internal decapitation thing has prevented me from doing it. My mom worked in insurance for over 35 years… I’ve heard too many horror stories. I plan to keep them rear facing as long as I can. Some car seats have foot extensions too.

Im going to try and hold out until 5 years old. 😬😅

The goal is to have your child rear facing for as long as they can. Until they max out in either the weight or height requirements, but you shouldn’t before then!
