[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid almost 5 still rear facing and honestly it's mostly just personality and size (and the fact of no older siblings) that let us last this long. I figured we'd turn much sooner but she never pushed it or complained and I didn't feel pressured to do it for any reason other than her comfort. She's pretty small for her age (around 30 lbs) so she's nowhere near weight limits, which means to me that it really is safest for her to rear face. She never gets car sick and she entertains herself with toys etc in the car. Leg space started to bother her last year and we switched to a Graco Extend2Fit carseat which gave her a little more leg room and haven't had any complaints since. She has just started to ask to face forward after doing it with friends on playdates and we're thinking about it once she's 5 this fall at least for around town trips (vs long distance). My issue is her 2-year old brother will then want to face forward and I'd like to get him to at least 35 lbs first (he's nowhere near as small). But if it happens, it happens. [/quote]

We use same car seat for our 5yo (closer to 40 lbs). He doesn't seem to mind / has never asked to switch. He's within weight and height limit for rear facing and it continues to be safer so no reason to change yet.[/quote]
