the radian XT I have states a maximum height limit rear facing as 44" ( http://www.skjp.com/simg/21826720.pdf ) . also some car seats don't really state any height limit, and just use the 1" rule (I beleive the true fit is one). so you won't have to turn her forward facing when she's 32", you still have some seats that will allow you plenty of room to grow.
so if you invest in a car seat with a good RF height and weight, that seat will also last you a lot longer when you do eventually turn her forward facing.
I think that post was specific to the Canadian Scenera, though I was confused by it at first too.
Thanks Selina, the post was specific to the Scenera - hence why I'd quoted the lady talking about the Scenera limits. I hadn't realized it could be interpreted differently, so I appreciate you clarifying my comment for me.
