I think we're going to keep Caroline's seat rear-facing for as long as she can stand it (which probably isn't long since her legs are all scrunched up already). I'd like to get to 18 months so we'll see. Thanks again for all your input!!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02121354895539080231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-73171211548816817202009-05-09T09:04:00.000-07:002009-05-09T09:04:00.000-07:00hey laura,

SO, emory's big girl seat is rear-facing. i honestly don't think that she minds b/c she's never known a different view.<br /><br />jillJJChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395275304341977592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-5410468600615076392009-05-08T18:32:00.000-07:002009-05-08T18:32:00.000-07:00I turned Gage at 1 but he was almost 28 pounds.

You're going to find two very extreme camps. I choose to trust God with my children. <br /><br />(Plus drive around on any given day and look around at all the children still not in seats at all!!!)Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241170130755165486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-24374150991955487512009-05-08T14:31:00.000-07:002009-05-08T14:31:00.000-07:00We waited until 18 months b/c the Plano police tha...We waited until 18 months b/c the Plano police that did ours mentioned the same thing. Plus, one of my friend's pediatrician told her that the US has the youngest "turn around" age of ANY country (well, those that have rules about that kind of thing). Crazy! We were trying to make it until 2, but we had the same problem with the legs. Good luck deciding!!!<br /><br />She sure does look cute in that seat!!!The Rowe Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03685367179038756583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-57850734425765998492009-05-08T14:17:00.000-07:002009-05-08T14:17:00.000-07:00Hey girl!

My pedi is married to my BF so I asked him to be really honest with me. Would they keep their youngest <br />(who is 7 months) rear facing after his first b-day? He told me they would keep him rear facing as long as possible. He did mention that it isn't a law yet in TN so you may want to find out the law in TX.<br /><br />But.. we had already turned Lu around and I plan to keep her that way. Her legs would be srunched like Caroline's and I just couldn't see us doing that. <br /><br />I would do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you are going to be anxious with her forward facing then I would wait. It is hard to put a price tag on peace of mind.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233510439278078305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-12795533886450853142009-05-07T19:53:00.000-07:002009-05-07T19:53:00.000-07:00I've heard that recently but after I had already t...I've heard that recently but after I had already turned Parker. I put him in the middle (to avoid side impact) and have him facing forward. I feel like it's a little extreme and just trust God with my little one. Parker really likes seeing us so it makes those long drives so much better.Alison Treadawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579497462349150177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-8543782137322094132009-05-07T18:34:00.000-07:002009-05-07T18:34:00.000-07:00I have heard about it, and I think it's a little e...I have heard about it, and I think it's a little extreme. My kids are so long that they would have been kicking their weight, pushing off the seat, if we had left them rear facing. That term that they gave is terrible and it has probably happened if they have a term for it, but we turned our babies at 20lbs/1 year. Plus- it is SO MUCH FUN to see them, and they have fun looking out too. There is always going to be a "extremist" out there telling you a more conservative approach, and on this I think you are good to diagree if you want. She is so cute!Travis and Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059761437791410194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-64735576524774355432009-05-07T11:25:00.000-07:002009-05-07T11:25:00.000-07:00hahaha - (I obviously have no advice on this since...hahaha - (I obviously have no advice on this since my daughter is 4 mo and I come to YOU for all advice) but this post just made me laugh. For two reasons: #1 I can see your eyes widening at the mention of "internal decapitation" (as mine would) and #2 at the seeming NEVERENDING stream of decisions we must make as mothers! And they ALL seem to be not easy and SO CRUCIAL and agonizing! :) Aaahhhh!The Smithshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03615420526256520539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6035820978488278634.post-81625041818568637022009-05-07T10:59:00.000-07:002009-05-07T10:59:00.000-07:00Definitely have heard it!

I tried to keep them that way as long as we could stand it. You will find two schools of thought among parents, and I think either way is ok! Just depends on if you are an over-cautious "rule follower" type like me!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144495567530007190noreply@blogger.com
