That's not safe! She should wait at LEAST a year. Two is even better.

We're not there yet, but I plan to wait until at least a year and a half. Hopefully two. 6 months is not legal and not safe at all, and I would have a hard time not saying something.

@bree72: Ugh, I hate situations like this. My cousin was on facebook talking about flipping her 10 month old and I wanted to say something but kept my mouth shut. We need some sort of safety brochure I can anonymously mail people.

we just flipped Zoey around. She will be 14 months next week. It's made the car rides better, but didn't solve the crying and boredom completely. She meets the minimum height/weight requirements, but i'm still nervous about her safety.

The internet told us we could turn it around when he was BOTH 1 year old AND 20 lbs. DH is really eager to turn him around so we can interactive with him more during drives, and he's a few ounces shy of 20lbs now, but when we asked our pedi about she told us that we could turn him after a year but we should really wait until 2 years. Turning it earlier than a year feels very unnecessarily dangerous.

@bree72: That IS illegal.

We just had Cobi's 12 mos appt and she said legally I can forward face him now, but to try to hold off until 2 years if possible. And he's not quite 20 lbs.

I voted 1.5-2 years but he's still rear-facing at a year... I hope to make it to 2 years, we'll see. We're getting his convertible carseat this coming week.
