Would You Turn Her Back Around?

My DD Chey is 4.5 and has CP. She has head control, and ok trunk control, but when she falls asleep in the car her head flops forward.
At her last appt with GI we found out she lost weight again- she is down to 30lbs again :(.
I am considering rear facing her again...
She will be riding a school van back and forth to school.. I am not sure if I should rear face her in there too??
She has an Graco My Ride and an Radian XSTL.
She has been forward facing for a few months now, she doesn't seem to mind either way.
I am just not sure if for her age it will make a difference?

If she fits yes I would turn her back around. It will be safer, more supportive, and more comfortable for her.

I would, as long as she fits. It's always safer, and it's gotta be more comfortable. As far as the bus goes, I think I'd be OK with FF if you need to, busses are safer than cars as it is. I would talk to the bus driver about it and see if RF would work out, and if not I wouldn't stress over it.
