So I've been thinking again about putting DD back RFing. She's been FFing for a few months. She's 33 months and 30lbs.

I need to get her a new seat. I bought DS a Cowmoo FR 85 and have dreams of matching Cowmoo

Car is an '07 Honda Accord.

Why not? Get your cowmoo you want. If you hate RFing, use it FFing

I would. I think a complete air SE would go nicely with a cowmoo Frontier. If you have the money to buy a Frontier I would use it to buy a rf seat as that will be safer for your dd.

I really wan to re-rearface my daughter as well, but my husband is resisting. In fact, I just wrote a blog on it. I'd really appreciate any comments on there promoting my decision so I could show my husband that I'm not crazy.

Thanks!

What were your reasons for turning her? I think that would make a difference. You still have the scenera right? You could rf her in it before you bought something else. If it doesn't work don't buy another rf seat.

If you have the means to make it happen, I'd do it without question.

And I wouldn't even have asked my husband. I'd just flip her and state, "I flipped her back, she still fits and she's safest". He knows I did all the RF research and he knows he married an intelligent woman that wouldn't be doing it unless her research and facts showed it to be a safe thing to do. In fact, I'd be a little offended if he doubted me. If he had concerns, I'd expect him to go and do the research on his own without involving me and then he'd come to the same conclusion I did, and all would be well.

I'm not sure if your husband is doubting it's safer for her, or if he really truly thinks it she'd resist (like your blog mentioned)? If it the latter, then I'm not sure why he just wouldn't allow her to be flipped, and if it caused an issue, then you guys can always flip her back. If he's not willing to try, it seems to me like he must have other concerns? Since she's already FF, maybe you could tell him that since you've already done all the research, you'll give him a week to do his own research to show that RF would not be safe for her. If he can prove that, then you'll keep her FF. If he can't or doesn't do the research, then back RF she goes.

I commented. It wasn't much but hopefully it will help

I flipped her because we had 1 seat (the Scenera) and was tired of reinstalling it RFing about once a week. I HATE installing that seat RFing. Hate.

I would feel much better if she were RFing. I'm just not sure what seat to get. I'd love to get a Cowmoo BLVD70, but I'm not sure how practical that would be. I really dont have RN or TF love, so I'm not sure what that leaves me. Oh and she rides in a RFing CA in her dad's car and I'm not so sure that I'm a big fan of it either

How tall is she? I super-adore my MR. At 33lbs, I'd only look at 40+ lb seats, if you're going to buy a new one. (ETA: NM, 33MONTHS, 30lbs. 35lb seats are an option then. What about an EFTA/EFT65?)

We have cowmoo blvd70 and love it both rear and forward facing. It would look very cute with the matching frontier.

Do you think you could find an older Marathon? You had one before didn't you? What about a Roundabout?

We used to have an MA and I would love another one. It was one of my favorite seats I've owned. I'd want one with a 35lb limit though because we wouldnt get far with a 33lb one.

I was thinking she was too tall to rf in the scenera. Must be thinking of someone else's kid. Sorry! You have a lot more options for rf then. If you have enough seats that you don't need to re-install often then I would install the scenera rf and leave it that way until she's too big for it. Then consider a cowmoo Frontier.

She is too tall now, and has almost outgrown the harness. But she has a lot of room in my mom's Cosco HBB Arent they supposed to be about the same? She also has a good amount of room in the Britax convertables (both old and new), we played at BRU the other day.

I guess if she has room in the Britax convertibles get a cowmoo one and enjoy!

I'd do it in a second if I had the means to
