Turn Her Back Around?

Calideedle · Dec 9, 2009

So DH got in some trouble and brought home a Car Seat. I think trying to get on my good side. :ROTFLMAO:

I am not sure if I want to keep it or not. Ava is 4 years-old (on Sunday) and 30lbs on my scale (was 35lbs on the DRs scale once). Would you turn her RFing again? She has been FFing for a few months now. How long do you think she has? I haven't installed it yet.

Thanks!

I would! But I'm in love with the MR rf'ing. Seriously it looks sooo comfy. DS wants to ride rf'ing in it so bad, but he's about an inch too tall and 1 lb too heavy.

ETA: I would say probably a year left. Unless she has a massive growth spurt. 6 months definitely though.

What a great hubby

Does she want to be RF? Looks like she has 2-3 inches of growing room. Maybe even more once it's installed. I'd say go for it if she wants to :thumbsup:

I don't know if you should turn her back around or not but I sure do wish my DH would bring home car seats for me when he gets into trouble. You better hold onto that man.

Oh yeah she loves it! It does look super cozy. She won't be thrilled about RFing again most likely but I think we'll try it for a few days and see how we feel.

If my DH brought home car seats after he got into trouble, my house would look like the BRU aisle!!

ETA: Gosh, your kiddos sure are gorgeous!

Well, what was the other seat? Don't leave us hanging.

Not only did he bring home a carseat, he brought home a good one!

You may be surprised. I had DD2 FF for a few months when she got close to 33 pounds. She was so happy to be "forwards". But when the Radians increased to 40 pounds I turned her back and then she was thrilled to be backwards. DD1 actually had a meltdown because she wanted to be backwards too.

He is actually great with Car Seats and wants to be a tech!

I really want a Flora XT

You are so, so lucky!

I'd turn her if she wanted to. But, she's also at the age that I would consider the child's preference.

Too bad DH doesn't bring home seats for me! Though I really wouldn't trust him to.

BookMama · Dec 9, 2009

I'd at least try her RF for a week or so and see how she adjusts. My DD is 4Y1M and loves

the MR for RF. (Sadly, no room for it in a 3-across in our Focus/Escort, so we've moved her to a Radian for the time being.)

Calideedle · Dec 9, 2009

Thanks! I think I'll install it & see how she likes it for a week.

canadiangie · Dec 9, 2009

I would.

urchin_grey · Dec 9, 2009

Wow, she has tons of room, eh? I would! Plus, you could pass it down to the baby once he outgrows the Coccoro, since the limits are a bit higher. That should be quite a while anyway, and by then (assuming you have lots of time left before your Regent expires), you'll be ready to pass the Regent down to Ava.

Well, that's one scenario, anyway.
