So yesterday we went in for a 15 month well checkup and the Doctor asked if he was riding in a car seat in the rear. Actually I'm not sure she even asked about car seat, just that he was riding in the rear. I said he was still facing the rear too, and she told me now that hes over 1 and over 20 pounds I can turn him around as that what the law says. I told her I knew the new AAP recommendations to keep him rear-facing till at least 2, and his car seat says he has to be 22 pounds before I turn him forward. She then said it was good to keep him rear facing up to the limits of the seat, at least until his legs started getting squished.
Overall not too bad of a recommendation... I think next time if the doctor says anything I'll bring up the fact that they are 5 times safe rear facing, and maybe even print out the NHTSA recommendations to bring and leave in the room.
