Okay, before anyone freaks out - NO, I am *not* planning on turning my 19-month-old DS FFing any time soon. However, after reading through some of the threads about people with wee peanuts who can RF till kindergarten, it's reminded me that we will not have that luxury, and I'm a planner so I like to figure things out well in advance.
If DS stays on his weight curve, I predict him hitting 35 lbs around 26 months old, give or take. Which is better than I'd hoped for - I was afraid we wouldn't get much past 18 months, but his weight slowed down for a while there - but still quite young from a spinal maturity standpoint. Which brings me to a couple of questions:
- For a "just turned two"-year-old, how close would you go to the weight limit? My inclination is to weigh weekly as he gets close and turn when he's consistently crossing the 34-lb mark.
- Is there a consensus opinion on the suitability of the TF for young-ish FF'ers? It will be tethered when we go FFing, obviously (we're in Canada, it's the law). It's already our second convertible, since we replaced our MA when DS was closing in on the MA's 30-lb RF limit, and I hope it'll be our last seat for a while, since DS is really comfy in the TF.
