My oldest stepdaughter mentioned last Saturday that her husband wants to try turning their just turned one year-old (30 inches, 23 lbs.) forward facing to see if she will stop fussing and crying in the car. I didn't say anything, only because she already knows my feelings on ERF. I know he wants to try this because they are going on a five hour road trip in a couple of weeks and he does not want to listen to Katelyn fuss and cry the entire drive, which I understand, but I still don't agree with turning her at this age.
My stepdaughter first thought it was Katelyn's infant seat that she didn't like (SS1) so she put her in a BLVD. Katelyn still fussed and cried. She insisted that Katelyn never sleeps in the car and fusses all the time. I had Katelyn & her twin brother Owen for 4 days in June and Katelyn rode fine for me in the MR. She even fell asleep twice in it and I even took a picture of her asleep to show her mother! (Yes, I pulled over first!) So then her mom decided to try the MR and figured if she didn't like it, she would put Owen in it when he outgrows his SS1. Well, she said Katelyn still fusses in the MR in their vehicle, which neither of us understands since she did so well in my vehicle. This is why her husband is now at the point of wanting to try her FF.
If any of you had a fussy child when it came to car seats, did it make any difference once they were turned FF?
