Part one:
My DS is happily rear facing in his Radian XT. He will be 4 in April and fully clothed in the middle of the day weighs just hovering around 32lbs and has been for quite a while. He is getting taller by the day though at 40.5" Our XT goes to 35lbs RF as we are in Canada and it was bought before the weight change.
I am trying to decide what to do. I had originally planned to turn him FF when he hit around 34lbs or so because I am sure that that won't be until after his birthday but with the seats going to 40lbs and even 45lbs now I am not so sure what is the best thing to do. He is happy rear facing probably because he knows no difference but is there any added benefit to staying that way after 4 years old? With a 40-45lbs seat he could probably stay RF until he went into a HBB in Grade 1 (that is the rule in my house over 6/Grade 1 and over 42lbs) as long as he still fit height wise.
Part two:
When I do turn him FF would you stay in the Radian XT or should I move him into his brothers Frontier that he is no longer using since he moved in the Oobr?
Thanks for your help.
