I have a 19 month old who weighs 28 pounds and he has a marathon and currently still rides rear facing in the centre. I am pregnant and I don't know which new configuration is safer for the two kids:
1. both kids in middle row of seating with newborn by the window and rear facing and 19 month old in the middle, forward facing (by then he'll be 25 months and unfortunately I think he'll be over the rear facing weight limit)
or
2. newborn rear facing in the middle of the middle row of seating and 25 month old in rear row of seating in the middle seat forward facing.
Is number 2 dangerous in a rear-ender crash?
ONe other question to anybody who knows: how strict are the weight limits for rear facing. As I said my son is only 19 months and already near teh weight limit for the marathon. Can I leave him rear facing a few pounds over the limit? Are there any car seats that would keep him rear facing longer?
thanks for your help.
