would you turn your child forward facing assuming they met the minimum for age and weight for their carseat.
I have read on other forums for eg someones 18 month old (who was over 20lbs) screamed while RF'ing so the parents decided to turn them FF because they didnt want to put up with the screaming and thought it would be safer as the screaming would distract them while driving.
when my daughter went into her cosco at 19 months she cried dont recall how long it went on for but it was short lived.
one thing that is non negotiable with my children is carseats up until the age of 4 they rearface (unless they happen to outgrow their seat RF before then) if at 4 she decides she wants to foward face (although would prefer to keep her RF'ing) I will be fine with that.
but I always figure a screaming child is better than a dead one.
so my question is at what age do you decide the screaming/crying is not worth the hassle and just turn them FF
