At what age do you change the car seat to face forward?
Or what is the weight my son should be at? He is now 9 months and 22 pounds and I gave the seat its turn around just to see how he’d react and he loves it! but should it be kept forward facing?
*His legs are too long for rear facing already*
His legs are NOT too long for rear facing. It is perfectly safe for a baby’s legs to be bent, folded, or hanging over the sides of the seat. Babies are much more flexible than adults, and are quite content to sit “froggy-style”.
The MINIMUM is one year and 20 lbs, but that is the MINIMUM. It has nothing to do with how much your baby weighs, it has to do with the development of neck muscles – one year is an arbitrary cut-off. It is far safer to remain rear-facing to the limits of the seat. Because a baby’s head is so much larger in proportion to the rest of his body, the impact of a crash can actually separate the head from the spine (it’s called internal decapitation). Rear-facing children are 4-5 times safer than forward facing children in a crash.
I urge you to turn your baby rear-facing again. Right now, it’s actually illegal for him to ride forward-facing, not to mention horribly dangerous.
