Tonight my BIG 4 yo asked if she could have her carseat "backwards" like her little sisters. The car seat crazy in me was so proud of her!! Too bad she weighs 52.4 lbs :eek: (at pedi on Jan 5th)!!! She was 46.6 at her 4 yo well child check in November. Surprisingly, she isn't "chunky." To look at her, you would think she would be A LOT lighter than she is - very solid. Anyway, I would have loved to grant her wish. Well actually, if she still fit rear-facing, she would have been already :p. Anyway, I figured you guys get it. DH just gave me an eye roll.

My 4 year old (5 next month) begged long enough that I finally got him an XTSL (I was really just waiting for an excuse to get one LOL)...thankfully he has a few more pounds and another 1/2" or so before he has to go back FF -- but he loves his "backwards" car seat right now...not looking forward to the fight when he outgrows it RF though :(

Wow, she's a big girl! She's the exact same age as my DD1 (same birthdate even) who is 39" and 34 lbs. Can't believe the difference.

Wow what a big girl! She sounds like she is built like my DD who just turned 3, not chubby just solid. I have a feeling that is about what my DD will be when she turns 4 too. But how cute of her to want to sit backwards too, that's too bad you couldn't accomodate her.
