My friend on Facebook posted this today, and I posted a link to the new RFing info, below you can see the whole conversation. I need some info or links as to why his feet touching the seat don't matter, and how important extended Rfing is. He is a chunky little dude, but could still Rf for quite some time. His seat is some sort of 3-in-1. Please help! I want to send her a message.

"Aiden has his one year checkup today. I wonder how chunky he has gotten. He is a hefty boy! Hopefully he is tall enough to turn around his carseat.

Jennifer: He can't last backwards in the carseat for another year. His feet are already on the back seat. He is the size of some two year olds. Lol."

"You might be surprised! I know 4 year olds that rear-face. They just cross their legs or hang them off the side. Even legs are safer rear-facing, but even if they weren't it's his neck you want to protect."

And this. http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/RFAlbum.aspx That's about 7-10 years old. If kids could rear face to five back then, think of what they can do now!

The video at the bottom of Jean's link is one of the best in the "what about their legs" argument I've seen.
