Rear-facing is safest, so I would turn her back rear-facing. Of course, you'll have to find a different seat, since the Ultra CarGo is a forward-facing only seat.

I'm concerned that she is so small and that's why I suggest that she rear-face again. Minimum requirements for forward-facing are age 1 AND 20 lbs. When it comes to the safety of our children, it's best to do more than just the minimum. You can find more information here: http://www.car-safety.org/rearface.html .
