My 2 1/2 yr. old son is still RF in his Britax Marathon. Ever since he turned 1 yr. old my family has "teased" me about not turning him around. My sister went so far as to mention it to her visiting sister-in-law as an example of my "overly obsessive behavior regarding safety." They ask me all the time, "How long are you going to make him stay facing backwards?" and "He looks so uncomfortable." and "His legs are going to cramp." etc. BTW, the same sister stopped using even a booster seat for her daughter by the time she was six, even though I believe Florida law requires some sort of seat until the child is eight.
Here where I live, I am the ONLY mom I know who hasn't turned their child around after 1 Yr. old, and sometimes I feel like a freak - like I'm overprotective and overreacting. I'm glad to know there are other parents out there who feel the same as I do about their child's safety.
