my son's tall and big, almost 22 months - close to being 35» and 30 lbs, and he's still rear facing - I'm waiting until he's at the max of the car seat
weight limit (40 lbs) to turn him around - his
legs might look cramped, but I'm going for safety - he also now extends his
legs out over the sides or up
on the back of the seat... pretty creative.
