Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 keeping them rear facing as long as possible is definitely the safest. It seems to be one of the other secrets doctors keep :-) I always heard that they had to be rear facing until 1 yr or 20 lbs and assumed they should switch after that. but really that is when they MUST be rearfacing, but they SHOULD be rear facing longer. of course by the time I learned this sydney was already forward facing for a while. -christine sydney 16 mo starband grad. > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>> > >> > > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > Hi everyone, > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > While I wait to hear back > > from our > > > > insurance > > > > > (we > > > > > > should > > > > > >>> > > hear any > > > > > >>>>>>> > >>> > > day > > > > > >>>>>>>>>>>> > >>>>>>> > >>> > > now!), I am just plagued with > > different > > > > > > worries.
