We switched both at 2, which is the minimum legal limit in our state. Both are much happier forward facing. We have over an hour commute everyday.
-
We just switched this past weekend at 3 years 3 months. We would have kept her until 4 but we can't fit two rear facing car seats and baby #2 is going to be here next week.
-
We plan to go until 2. DS is almost one and HATES the car. He's better then he used to be but still cries a lot. I'm going to get as close to 2 as we possibly can. (Law in my state is any time after 1!)
-
Right after 2nd birthday. He seems happier.
-
Way before 2, maybe 18 months? I think it coincided with a long road trip and wanting him to be less cranky in the car. No regrets here. I hated installing that car seat rear facing.
-
@Foodnerd81: Same. I don't know anyone that I didn't meet on HB who has kept their kid rear facing until 2 or beyond.
LO just turned 2 and is still RF.
-
@Mae: I have a handful of nonHB fb friends who rear face longer. By in real life it's like 2, and one was only because her daughter was so tiny she didn't hit the weight limit til 2.5.
-
We're at 3y2m (41" and 40lbs) and 16.5m (30" and 20 lbs) and both are RF.
No intentions of stopping as we had my DS FF while on vacation in the States and he was so unhappy. His feet kept falling asleep and he was dangling his head like crazy when he fell asleep. So as long as he doesn't hit the weight or height limit of our carseat he'll be RF.
-
We are 34 months and still RF. I think we may outgrow the height limit soon. She's still under 30 lbs so it'll be awhile until we outgrow weight limit. She is very content RF.
ETA: I just looked up height limit for ours and it is 49 inches?! Whoa! We won't be there for awhile. She'll be RF til she is 6!
-
Lo1 was a little over a year and lo2 was almost 2.
-
He hit the height limit at about 2yr
-
@ValentineMommy: yep same
-
She's 2.5 and still RF. She is a peanut and is nowhere near the RF limits on her carseat. When #2 arrives, I think she will enjoy RFing with the baby (and we already know that the infant seat can fit without need to turn the convertible seat), so I can see her continuing to RF for a long time.
-
We switched at 22 months so he could climb in by himself. My DH had hernia surgery and wasn't able to lift him in and out of our truck. But LO could climb up and DH could help guide him in.
-
4th bday
-
He's still RF at 2.5. He doesn't complain, so I'm not worried about turning him anytime soon.
-
A month or so after dd turned 2. (At that time the legal limit was 1..)
With ds the legal limit will be 2 and we'll probably do that.
-
My son is still RF at almost 4.5, but he was a preemie and I bought ERF seats, so he will be for a while. He can climb in on his own, which is great because I have an awful back.
His father now has him FF in his truck, which I don't like, but can't control. DS prefers to RF because he can put his legs up, rather than have them dangle and fall asleep.
-
A little after 3 years!
-
A little before two. DS was huuuuge and I was really pregnant. DD will stay RF much longer I suspect.
