Photos needed to help RECONVINCE MY SISTER!!!!

[leebeeag]

ok my sister has turned my neice around back to ff even though her seat says rf till 12kgs(26.4 lbs).my sister just had her weighed and she is 10kgs(22 lbs)
She wants to see photos of kids her own age and older in rf seats.she is 19months, 22 lbs and torso height 35cms(13.8")..currently her seat is a safe n sound AHR meridian.
If anyone could help me that would be great

Or a link to a website showing these types od photos.
NOTE your photos will not be used in any other matter only to show my sister

Get her to look at CRS's RF page - she's a Kiwi and we use Aussie seats so it's really relevant to your sis.

There are some good FAQ and links at the bottom.
Also this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psmUWg7QrC8
And this gallery of pics http://childrestraintsafety.com/extended-rear-facing-gallery.html

Emily in my siggy pic is RF at 14m / 9-ish kg in a S&S seat, and will be for the next 3kg too! lol

HTH, it's frustrating trying to explain, isn't it?

16 months old. About 20 pounds. I can't remember how tall he was, but he was about the 3rd to 5th percentile for his age. RF in a Britax Roundabout in a Toyota Corolla.

2 1/2 years old. Not in a car. Ready for an airplane trip. 25 pounds. 34 inches. He also was RF on the plane. Britax Marathon. You can see his legs hanging off the front. Now imagine the seat reclined back. That really isn't that much leg that he has to bend or put up on the seat back. He has never complained about his legs.

3 years old. 26 pounds. 35 inches. RF in a Britax Marathon in a Honda civic.

3 1/2 years old. 27 pounds. 36 inches tall. RF in a Britax Marathon in a Honda Civic.

I'd also mention to her that our RFing kids are plenty big enough to complain or simply tell us if their legs hurt. My 3½yo shrieks if his shirt is bunched up under his back , he'll SURELY alert me to any leg pain.

:yeahthat:

Joy will raise the roof if her tights itch - she certainly would have let us know if RF was uncomfortable for her.

My TALL 2.5 year old rf'ing.. I believe he was 28 lbs and 36 inches.
