I am going to be buy a seat when my girls hit 33lbs (hopefully at different times!) to keep them rear facing to 35lbs instead of 33lbs. (Hopefully Britax has a seat that rear faces longer by that point!) When they are done with the seat I will be giving it to someone who needs a seat and can't afford it, since my girls will be going back to their Wizards.
My question is...I've heard negative reviews on the Intera...so I'm wondering about the other ones. I've used the AO with horrible results, but it wasn't the brand new one so it may be better. My main concerns are these, in this order:
Rear face to 35lbs or more.
The 35lb child can still FIT rear facing.
Tight installation.
Comfort for the child.
Since it will only be for 2lbs I'm just concerned about them fitting in it rear facing at that point. I don't want to end up getting the seat only to find out they don't fit. I'll obviously try them before I buy them, but I thought I'd see if anyone had put their 33-35lb child into one of these seats rear facing.

And if there are any other that rear face past 33lbs, I'm interested in knowing about them too. We drive a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with LATCH on the two seat bench in the middle, and a lap belt and tether anchor in the middle on the 3 seat bench in back. Installation is usually not an issue, especially if rear facing tether is allowed...none of the above seats allow that do they???
