I currently have an Evenflo Symphony 65 LX which my 17 month old happily rear-faces in and I plan to keep her rear-facing until she out grows her seat. My question is, when did your LO reach the rear-facing limit for his/her seat? Did they reach the height limit or the weight limit first? If they haven't reached the limits yet, how old are they and how close to the limits are they? My DD is fairly petite so I have a feeling that it'll be a while before she is anywhere near the limits but I'm just trying to get an idea here.
Also, her father has recently started taking her for visitation. As of right now he has to do what I say as per the court order because his visitation with her is supervised, however, when they come to get her he always gives me an attitude when I ask and check to make sure that the car seat is rear facing before they leave with her. My concern at this point is for if/when it reaches a point where the judge orders for regular visitation instead of supervised. I've tried talking to him about the benefits of leaving her rear-facing and the risks involved if she is put forward facing too soon but he doesn't want to listen to any of it because they put his son forward facing very early (before a year even) and they never had a problem with it. How can I bring the subject up in a way that he will actually listen to me and understand why it's so important for her to remain rear-facing for as long as possible?
