I kind of did this. When DH was in an accident and we lost that car seat, I stuck my Radian in his new car and got a Pioneer for my car. J2 HATED it! I bought another Radian, and he requested to go back rear facing. He stayed that way until he outgrew it.Agreed--I'd feel comfortable flipping at this point too. The way we worked this out in our house was to give our child the choice once we hit our RF goal. He actually chose to continue RFing for several months and then asked to turn, so we turned him. That seemed to make everyone happy. With kid #2, our convertible will expire soon after he hits the goal, so he won't have a choice...oh, well!
His says that it is just that it's not necessary but i think it's really that he doesn't like his boy rear facing when his friends' kids are all FF.I would feel comfortable flipping a child at age 4. I understand the "why not?" feeling that you are having, though, since he still fits in his seat RF.
What are your husbands objections? Honestly if he has any reason beyond "you said we'd flip him at 4" or "everybody else's kids are FF" I'd probably just forward-face him. So if he's having trouble getting him into the seat, or if your DS is asking to FF or whatever...I'd probably just go ahead and flip him now. As Brianna said, we really don't know how much safer RF is after age 4.

We don't know how MUCH safer RF is past 4 but within the limits of the seat I can't see it possibly being less safe and would like to flip only when he hits the limits.
