I think I've seen another thread venting about staff at Macklem's.....apparently it wasn't just a one-off. I went there to try to figure out what our next car seat purchase should be. (Found out our 6 week old does fit in his sister's BV.) However, the woman told me that my 22 month old (>32", 33 pounds) doesn't meet the criteria for RF in most seats. That "most people recommend FF after one year/20 lbs" and that there's the concern of injuries RF when their legs smash up into their spine. She suggested that there would be liability issues if I RF my DD beyond what it says in the manual (I think I saw the 32" limit referred to as "antiquated" on this board) - is this true?
This is all BS, right? Can I get some links to hard facts to drop off at this place? DH is really leaning towards FF our daughter because he'd prefer not to buy another seat right now (be a stretch financially) and she's over the RF weight limit.
I felt confident about my knowledge and then this woman acted like I was attempting to do something risky by trying to extended RF my kid.
