Just polling out of curiosity.

I thought we'd turn DS1 at three but now that we're there I've changed my RF goal to age four. I've told DH we'll definitely turn him at four, but I could totally see myself changing my mind if RF is still going well for us at that point.

Dd3 rfed until her 6th birthday. (Ffing now. except sometimes) Ds2 is 4.5 years with plans to rf to the limit of the seat. (He's bigger than dd3, so he should outgrow the seat prior to 6)

My niece turned four in July and is still rear facing. My ds will probably be at the limits of his seat by 4, but if he's not he'll rf past his 4th b-day too.

Colton is 3y3m right now. My goal is 4. When we get there we may keep going if possible.

She'll be 4 November first and will RF until she doesn't fit in the Radian. Maybe 5?

But my 5-year-old can't RF in any seat. Even at 4 he could not b/c his seat went to 40 lbs. RF, and he was 40/41.

ODS turned FF a few weeks ago when he reached the height limit in his Radian. He was 5y 5mo.

I gave my son a choice at four and he flipped back and forth until July, when I determined he'd outgrown his seat RF.

He's 4y5m and has requested to RF again.

DS FF from age 3 to 3y9m. At that time, he asked to RF again and has been ever since.

4 years 8 months for us. She'd have stayed RF longer if she hadn't reached 40#.

My guy has had the choice to RF since 4 1/2. At 5 1/2 he has asked for a new seat w/ more leg room, we went to look. He wasn't impressed that it had to be FF. When he started Kindergarten 5 3/4, he asked for a seat like his friend (booster). I declined and said he could have a seat like one of his other friends (Frontier) and we'll get one next good sale, probably the new year.

Emma rear faced until 4y1m. our goal is 4 and after than they can choose to forward or rear face if we have a seat available. I am hoping Addy gets to 4 the she will move to the FN85 and Emma into a booster.

4 years 8 months. I will take his last pic in a rf seat tomorrow and then he will ff tomorrow. He could still rf in his radian xtsl right now, and might could max it out rf by height and weight at the same time, but I need the seat for his brother now... just about 6 year old will move to booster, he will move to regent for now, and brother will move to the radian rf.

My dd still occasionally rides rf in ds Radian when he's not with us. She loves it. If I had the money I'd buy her a Radian also.

My goal right now is 4, but I can see us going past that if it's still working for us.

Levi turned 4 in July, he has a ton of room left RF and has never asked to switch, so I'll keep him that way until he outgrows his XTSL.

4y4m for DS1, now at 5y1m I just tried him in brother's RN and he's too tall! I thought they could share the RN in DH's car since he still fits weight wise, but nope! DS2 is 3.5 and will *possibly* make it to 4 in his CA, but both height and weight are very close already.
