DS is 3yrs 40in tall & aprox 37-40lbs & 15inch torso
We have him riding in RXTs rear facing in my car, hubby's car and our spare RXT for anyone else's car
It seems whenever DS has a birthday the topic is... When are we going to switch him FF!
I keep hearing the comments from family, friends and even some people we don't know well! It is really getting to me I planned on RF till 2yrs but that came and went because honestly there was no reason I saw to turn him FF. He was safe, he looked like he was comfortable and he had plenty of room.
Today I would say he is still comfortable but it takes a few minutes for us to find his seated position and get buckled in. His legs are longer of course and yes he bends them usually. I think when people see this, that is when the comments of "Awwe..He just wants to stretch those legs" or "How long are you going to make him sit like that!" I usually spill off the "I would rather have broken legs than a broken neck" and tell them his seat has limits that go beyond his height and weight. But now I'm just tired of feeling like it is just weird that he is ERF!
I honestly don't know if these people are annoyed with seeing him ERF or if they just want the extra space in the passenger seat! I mean come on that is really the only "bonus" I can see by turning him FF. Maybe there is something I'm just not understanding??? There will come a day when he will need to be FF, when that day is I don't know exactly. I guess I just needed to spill it.
