My 2 year old dd has been forward facing for almost a year.
She has a Radian, and I've been so certian that it would not fit rar facing because of the drivers seat, but last night I took out her seat to wash the cover and decided to try to install it rear facing when I was done.
Besides the not being enough room to rearface, we also didnt want to turn her back because we thought she'd freak out and scream hysterically and be very distracting to us.
We decided to see how she does rearfacing, and if it gets to the point where we are distracted too much by her crying then we'd turn her back.
So, I was able to get a solid install with the seatbelt in the middle, and I put my 8 month old's Scenera on the side behind the passengers seat. They are pretty much smashed into each other at the sides, but they fit and are both solid in the car.
I didn't have a lot of time to try Hannah in the seat today, but I did put her in it for a few minutes and drove around the block. She didn't fuss at all about being rear facing. She actually seemed more comfortable.
So even though we are comfortable enough with her forward facing, we decided that as long as she meets the rf weight requirements and she's happy about sitting like that, then we might as well put her like that for a while longer.
