that doesn't stop me from wanting to rf the 3 yr 11 month old I'm transporting. She's about 45 lbs and tall so its not happening but I still wish I could.

She's almost four. That wouldn't worry me at all.

i hear you. my kids are off-the-chart teeny... but at least i can RF them for a looong time. i think they can make it to age 12 RFing in a swedish seat, but i probably won't do that. (probably not, hmm...)

I know what you mean. DD5 is 4.5 and I keep tossing around the idea of selling her MA70 and buying a radian with a 45 lb RFing limit so I can turn her back RFing. Which I know is crazy...she's 4.5 and perfectly safe FFing, but still. So yeah, I get it

If it's any consolation, I'm with you. When J hit 45lbs at 3y11m, I momentarily toyed with the idea of importing. Common sense won out, but... yeah. Very very safe is not "safest possible." I just had to tell myself I had done the best possible and rest in the knowledge that 4 is better than 99.5% of kids out there, anywhere.

(Says the girl who has a RFing 4y10m child in her vehicle, with no plans to turn until the child insists...)

hey you rearfaced to the max of the carseat and that is the important thing

babyherder · Jan 9, 2012

Thanks everyone. I just need to know that if anything ever happens I kept her as safe as I could. It does make me happy to see her harnessed in my backseat. If I hadn't found this website she'd probably be in a booster. So I try to focus on that.

Ilana asked at 3yr 10mos to go ffing and I let her even though she still fit rfing. I'm toing w/ letting Olivia go ffing this Spring since she'll probably have too later this summer. It would make my car life happier sometimes to seperate certain ones, lol.
