👉 Every car seat has a rear-facing weight limit. It is ALWAYS recommended to max out the rear-facing range before turning your kiddo forward, no matter how old he is.
🚙 For example, our car seat has a rear-facing weight limit of 5-50 lbs and a forward-facing weight limit of 25-65 lbs. Even though there is overlap, we would keep our kiddo rear-facing until 50 lbs. Check your car seat manual for your seat’s specific limits.
🧎 The whole point of a car seat is to protect the child’s brain and spine in the event of a crash. The rear-facing position supports the kiddo’s body, whereas the forward-facing position allows for his body to bend forward, potentially causing injury in the event of a crash. Sure, it might be a little less comfortable, but alive is preferable to comfort. 🤲
