[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13 months.  Having your child wear a helmet all day is also safer, but we didn't do that either.  so if you want to put him in a helmet and keep rear facing for 3 years, listen to some of the pps.  [/quote]

My daughter HAS to be in the car on an almost daily basis and it does not take me anymore time to get her in her seat that rear faces, than it would the other way around. I really do not understand your comparison to wearing a helmet all day long. If you are insecure with your choice to forward face, that is on you. It does not bother me either way what other families do! [/quote]

It always kills me that people assume when someone thinks [b]their overprotectiveness [/b]is just that it somehow means we're insecure about our decision.  I'm not.  I think having a 3 yo facing a seat and not seeing the world in a car is silly and seals a child off from the world.  The rationale is that it is so much safer.  So is putting a kid in a helmet.  They are safer and not that impractical.  So just be consistent- that's all.

We waited until 13 months because before then, he wasn't really concerned about what we were doing in the front seat.  ONce he was, we turned him around. He loved the car from that day on. [/quote]

It's not "overprotective" to RF past 12 months.  [/quote]
