DD 4.5yrs, DS 7yrs. We were parked waiting for their Uncle and big brother asked DD to hold the cup of water and she passed out.

Are you familiar with the benefits of rearfacing past the first birthday? Now that his casts are off, he has plenty of weight left to rearface in his Marathon. It's increases his safety by more than 5x and is recommended by NHTSA, the AAP and obviously by us as technicians.

Here's a video that explains the "why" of it better than I can. :)

Kirst, she mentioned above that she's moved them up since that photo. :) Good catch though!

is the headrest on his captain's chair backwards?? I can't tell... if it is, it needs to be turned back around.

Old Picture, old Vehicle we no longer have. They were that way when we bought it and I never tried to remove them so I don't really know.

On our way home from vacation on Sunday. How does everyone feel about how loose the strap is when she is sleeping? When she is awake they are tight but depending on how she sleeps it is considerably loose.

He'll be two on October 1st. Right now he weighs 27lbs. When he was in the casts he was 34. He's slimmed out a little, plus they added a lot of weight.

At that age and size it is reccommended for your child to be rear facing. Forward facing so young puts your baby at great risk for serious spinal cord injury or even death in a collsion.

Yes, I've seen the video and know he could still be refacing. He goes in and out of the casts (goes back this coming Monday to the doctor) and when he's in them it pushes the casts up so they push on his hips and puts strain on his ankles now that his legs are longer. It worked okay when he was an infant, but not anymore. And when he's not in them he hates being faced towards the seat. Screams the whole time.

He is the same exact age as my son, they have the same birthday & everything :) & I can't imagine DS being FF that early. :( Is the marathon the 33lb or the 35 lb RF limit? & is there another seat you could put him in RF?

Do you have access to another seat that is deeper so he would have more leg room so the casts didn't push on his hips? The My Ride is the first one that comes to mind, since it is deeper than the MA. Him screaming is just a phase all kids go through. It is still safer for him to be RF even if he is screaming.
