How much rear facing time left?

dmpmercury · Mar 11, 2010

My dd is a peanut. She is 3.5 and and the bottom of the charts. I always see people saying how fast boulevard and marathons are outgrown rear facing. It seems like my dd has some time left. How much does she have over her head and how long do you think it would take to outgrow it? She probably going to have to go foward facing at 4 because of the baby on the way but because she still has some room it almost makes me want to keep her rear facing.

LOTS of time!

My 3rd percentile DD1 outgrew the Wizard (same size as the Boulevard; 33lb rear-facing limit) at 4y9m, by weight...

wow, yep ,you really do have a peanut!!!! you have lots of time left, lol. but, as you said, your kid is at the very bottom of the charts.....most kids do outgrow te blvd and marathons significantly earlier, lol!

By height, you could probably keep her rearfacing in the BV another three years. ROFL. I love her hair!

A ton of time! I just posted pics of Ilana not too long ago and we decided she had a good inch at least and she's 3 and way closer to the top than your dd. Then I realized she weighed 33# and I had to move her anyways, lol. You'll easily get to 5 I bet by height.

She's little like mine! They can be dangerous. There are so very very many convertibles they will fit into. Choosing just one is oh so hard

I thought it looked like she had a long time left. I was only 31 pounds at 5 and she similar in weight just shorter so she might have until 5. It makes me want to keep her that way which would mean getting a coccoro but thats 3 seats I eventually have to buy instead of 2. Hmm decisions decisions.

oodles of time! most kids outgrow it by weight before height unless they have a long torso... and with her sizing, I would have not a single issue with putting her ff at 4 or when she hits the weight limit...

oh, by the way... I LOVE her hair... not just the color, beautiful as it is, but the twist braids... I'm still trying to master doing those!

But back on topic... if all your kids tend to follow her growth pattern, I bet they'd last in a coccoro until age 3-4... and it would be a good investment... as well as being a seat that fits newborns well.
