When to switch to a convertible carseat?

Re: When to switch to a convertible carseat?

Don't feel too guilty. I changed Evie as soon as she was one because it reduced the crying. I figure that it is safer to have a less distracted driver with her front facing than a more distracted driver with her rear-facing. I think puke qualifies under that as well. :therethere:

Thanks. Extenuating circumstances!

I have a friend who turned her son around when he was 9 months old ... he would cry and scream and tear his hair out whenever they drove anywhere. Turning the seat around made a HUGE difference for them!

Ok, back to the original question: Yes, both of my kids just kind of bent their legs and were fine.

So we just got back from her first trip in it and she seemed to be fine with it. Since she's sitting up much higher now she spent most of the trip looking out the window.
