DD is at least 33lbs (last time she weighed 32.3 and she feels heavier now) and the last couple of days I've been thinking of turning her FF since it's so close and I don't want to threat over the last 1.5# you know, and with her weight gain it might be 2mo or 6 mo

I think either option is ok at this point, and you'll need to decide your own comfort level. I'd want a reliable weight from an accurate scale though first before making a decision. If she has a full 2lbs, she's unlikely to gain that overnight. If she only has 1lb, I'd likely turn her ff'ing now.

If you have bad roads in the winter, and she's 33lbs, I'd be inclined to eek out that extra 1lb to keep her rf'ing through as much of the winter as possible. If she's at 34lbs now, then I don't think there's much choice... The seat won't magically fail at 35lbs - especially if it's installed more upright. But I'm not a fan of repeated & regular weighing, I'd rather just turn ff'ing and not quibble over 1lb if she's already 34lbs.

She is pretty close to maxing the limit on her seat and she will be safe ff'ing now, it's just winter that would make me want to eek out a little longer if possible. :eek:

Weather wise, we live in So. Cal, no on snow or severe weather conditions. I'll know for sure what weight is this weekend. I don't use our scale as I know it's wrong and my postal scale only goes to 30 and it gives me "EE" error on it with her nakey. I could also go and have her weighed at Dr office when I get my flu shot.
