determining what age is okay to FF in your opinion?
I see lots of different answers, or opinions on what age is okay to FF. I see a lot of people say they are okay with FF at 3 yrs old. Others want to make it closer to 4 yrs. I have seen it said that there is no actual data on how much of a difference RF makes to the safety of 3 and 4 yr olds. And on the other hand there is the bone fusion that begins at age 4. Personally I am of the mind that if bone fusion begins at age 4 and is completed by age 6 then my own goal will be to keep my son RF as long past the age of 4 as realistically possible. For those that say it is okay to turn a older 2 yr old or younger 3 yr old, is that based on the lack of higher weight RF car seats available in the US or on something else? Just curious what accounts for the difference of opinions?
