...if I let my 3yo ff?
My plan when I bought the CA was to try to make it to 4. Ds2 is around 35-37lbs clothed on any given day. A couple of days ago my ds1 asked to sit in the middle row of our van because he wants to sit next to his sister (who is rfing). Ds2 was excited to ride in the 3rd row, but HATES being rfing there. He begged for "car seat go this way" as he sat on the seat facing the front. Turned him around just to get home from the park without temper tantrums from the boys and everyone is as happy as a clam.
So, do I be a mean mama and turn him back around (and upset ds1 because the only way I think it'll work to get him rfing is to move him back to the middle row)? Is there a huge safety difference at this age? I would guess in another 6 months he'd be too heavy to rf in the CA anyways (gaining weight/growing rapidly + the addition of winter clothes).
And of course he is tethered.
(as a side note, the CA makes a really nice ffing seat. Just the right amount of recline for sleeping, IMO)
