Would you keep her RF?

Mirandagrate · Apr 2, 2011

DD will be 5 in May and is RF in a Radian XTSL. She's roughly 34lbs and 42in. She fit perfectly in her seat, never complains about it, I don't even think she knows that she can FF... So, would you keep her that way? I think she could fit like that until she's at least 6... I'm in no hurry to turn her around.. just been looking at the prosport and made me wonder what you all thought.

My daughter will be 7 in a few weeks and is only about 39lbs. She was rear-facing in a Radian and Complete Air up until last year then we switched over to the ProSports and LOVE them

She rides in a Recaro Vivo quite often in daddy's car or other people's cars.

And for comparison, here she is (along with her brother from the above photo who is 5) rear-facing in the Complete Air. http://carseatblog.com/4038/new-safety-1st-complete-air-convertible-car-seat-review/

At her age I would do whatever works for her. If she's comfortable and happy rf I'd keep her that way as long as she still fits, but if she expresses interest in ff I'd let her without a second thought

I'd keep her rf. She fits and she's not complaining. Why change her to a less safe form of transportation when the safer one is working?

I don't see anything wrong with turning her, but don't see any reason to either.

I'd keep her RFing, but turn her if she asked.

My DD has the same seat. She just turned 5, 35 lbs, 40 ins. She was RF in Dec but we turned her around because we needed her seat to RF DS in the other car, and got her a Nautilus. We eventually got another Radian for DH's car and put her back in hers, but now she doesn't want to RF. Her new motto is "when you're 4 you get to choose." I know she is safe but I wish she would RF again

If your DD doesn't care I would keep her RF, if she asks I would turn her.

if she asks to be turned I would turn her but if she isnt complaining about still being rearfaced then I would keep her rear facing.

and at her age I would have no qualms about having her FF at almost 5 years of age.

Would you keep her RF?
