When can my son face forward?

by kirby26, Jul 21, 2009 08:40PM
My son is 11 months old..and is turning one August 15th.  We are going on a road trip tomorrow and i was wondering if it would be ok to turn his seat around?

He is about 22 pounds 30 inches long.

From what I understand the magic point is one year...  My husband turned my son's around a few weeks - maybe 2 before his birthday and all was well.  I wasn't excited about it but - it's not like we got pulled over and anyone asked...

I think it's when baby reaches 1 year or 20 pounds.

we waited until Julian was1 year and we thought he was20lbs buthe was19. The doctorsaid1 year rather than the 20lbs because Julian is in the 90th percentilefor his length!

He is fine!!  In my opinion turn him around now .  If you get pulled over just say he's 1.  His weight is good. So do it . It will be fun for him and you all!

I had thought once they come out of the new born car seat and into a bigger car seat one they face forward? My son is 5 months and sooner rather than later he will go into a bigger seat as he’s getting big now.
