[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think she might be getting carsick?

All I can say is when she turns 2, turn her forward facing.
https://emilyoster.substack.com/p/car-seats-when-to-turn-when-to-stop[/quote] this is old information. Current ref is keep RF into child reaches max height and weight of the individual seat. However, if a medical reason dictates it’s not safe to do so then you should switch earlier. A carsick child or a screaming child. That will distract you driving would be a reason to turn FF early. - car seat tech. [/quote]

You didn't read the article I posted. That guidance is not based on good data,and there is no legal requirement to keep them rear facing past2. The AAP recommends a lot of things that are not practical (e.g. room sharing until 12 months? WTAF?). As another poster said, driving with toddlers screaming in the backseat is not safe either.[/quote]

Lol, what's so impractical about room sharing for 12 months?

Emily Oster is a hack and a cow. Only insecure mommy-martyr types cling to her every word. She's completely unqualified to make these kind of recommendations yet she continues to . It's unconscionable. [/quote]

If I wondered about how RF seats perform for selected ages, I'd want a Ph.d in Physics and not Economics.  [/quote]

Yes. It’s not just about physics but also about skeletal development/maturity and ossification.  I’m a rehab physician and plan to keep my kid rear facing as long as possible. In any case I live in a state where it is illegal to have a kid forward face before age 2 - 14 months is way too young.
