Can I put my 8mth old 26lbs son to a forward facing position in his convertible car seat?
Find answers to your legal question.





Can I put my 8mth old 26lbs son to a forward facing position in his convertible car seat?

My son is 8mths old, 26 lbs, & 30 in tall. The doctor says on the growth chart he is the size of a one year old, & is very advanced for his age. With his car seat rear facing his little legs are so bunched up because he is so long, I am wondering if it would be okay to turn him around. He supports himself very well, including his head. He is standing now, walking along side of the couch...so I am just curious if he may be an exception to the rule. Your honest thoughts & opinions. Thank you!!!!

Your question should be classified as a parenting one, not a car one.

30-35 is when you should put them face forward

I think you can. I think it's more important that the kid is the proper size than the actual age. I would do it.
