I am not one to think Pedis are educated in carseat installation, or RF/FF. My DD went in for her 1yo well check, 2 days after she turned 1. She is 31 1/4 inches, and 19.5lbs. My Pedi said to me "she has good enough upper body strength, you can go ahead and turn her forward facing, even though she isn't quite 20 lbs." My response "I thought the AAP was now recommending kids remain RF until they reach the maximum limits of their seat. Hers goes RF to 35lbs." His response "Yeah, but do you want her to have a broken leg in a crash?" My response "As far as I know, there are not any reported incidence of that happening, due to RF in a carseat. AND I would much rather deal with a broken leg than internal decapitation." His response was nothing, he just shook his head. He and I have issues, we don't vax, and I don't believe in flouride drops. He thinks I am nuts anyway. But this was just stupid advice, IMHO!
