DH has the radian xt sl in his car, and I keep it rear facing for Fiona, just because it puzzles better with the my ride for Nolan, she is well with in the limits even though she is nearing 5 years old. She has a good 3 inches of shell above her head and weighs about 33 lbs still.
Anyways she probably is the largest child I have seen rear facing ever lol.. for the most part, just cause she is leggy.
So today he asks me every so sincerly "hun could we maybe please turn Fiona forward facing in my car?" I asked why and he said that it was because yesterday he took her to the store and he was at a traffic light and he was getting all kinds of weird looks from people, and he was embarassed.. he then said he is afraid he is going to end up having problems with a cop over it, and not know what to say, I told him to just tell the cop that she is well with in the rear facing limits of her seat, and is safer that way, and if the cop wishes to write him a ticket he will fight it at court and win.
He does not want to deal with it. grr I wish I could just take the xt for my car but I really need it for his.. she is in a nautilus in my car.
Ok just a dumb story.. finding out he gets weird looks just makes me want her rear facing even more lol maybe someone will ask and learn something. (she is fine ffing imo though, she is only rear facing cause of fit.)
ETA: cause I am tired and this came out all wrong.. the point of it is besides being bummed that the weird looks get to him, and that he gets weird looks at all, I would like to find a way to help him out and turn her ffing in his car, with the seats I have... ideas please!!! ORRR do I tell him too bad and rear face her to booster age like the original plan was?? lol
