Ok, so this is my second post today along these lines. My youngest son is almost three, weighs 32 pounds and is about 38 inches tall. He is rear facing in his Roundabout 50, with a few pounds of growing room to get him to the 35 pound max. He is our third and last child, and to be honest we are just ready to have everybody facing forward and seeing the same things when we are driving. If we could move him forward facing, and also put our middle son into a booster (other thread I just posted) it would also allow us to use one of our outboard seats to come forward so our oldest son could get into his seat without having to go through the trunk (because our other two boys need to use the ISO FIX positions for their seats, which are only outboard in the middle row on a 2007 Volvo XC90).
So, I guess the big question is at what weight/age have I gotten the greatest benefit from keeping him rear facing? I'm sure there is more benefit for him to continue rear facing, but can I call "Uncle" and be comfortable that I'm simply not just turning into a slacker Mom, but have done a damn good job with my three monkeys?
Cheers,
Jessica
