Tonight I had the baby right ff'ing. It was extremely weird. (he's over the minimum, he's 15 mo, 24 lbs..etc). But I could not get his seat installed tight in their van rear-facing. So, it was either the wiggly rear-facing, or the tight tight forward facing. (It wasn't MY carseat, it was the same as mine, but belongs to them, for him...so it doesn't stay in the van, because they don't always have my kids)
Anyway, I'm not making a habit of it, because I still prefer him rear-facing (especially in my car, which is an escort... ). I don't know why I feel the need to confess this.
At the end of the month, it'll be legal for my oldest to ride without a booster... I tried him in the seat last week, to see how he fit, he's just slightly bigger than the average nearly 6 year old...and he was no where near passing the five step test. Which is fine, he's got his booster. lol
I have to tell you, you could tell the baby was delighted to be forward, but when we got back in my car to go home, he was fine rear-facing...(though usually he stands UP in the seat and won't bend his legs...or at this torso--so he was better than fine. lol. I don't recall having to fight with my oldest to get him in the car seat at this age).
