Soooo cute!!
I'm not sure how to say this, but...he should still be rear-facing. I'm not sure of the laws in NH, but the recco is 20 pounds AND one year old. Their neck muscles are still developing even if they hit the 20 pound mark early.
Also really important to turn off the airbags if you have them, *especially* if you decide to turn him back to face rear. Even tho rear-facing is safer, the airbags make it more dangerous that way, since they would impact near the babies head if they deploy.

I appreciate your concern. We asked the doctor what to do because he throws a total fit rear facing, because he cant move his legs much. The airbags are off, there is a keyhole in the truck that turns it off. He is over 20 lbs, and is walking, so he told us it was okay to put him front facing. Do you think I shouldnt? I know sometimes doctors are idiots. I really didnt second think it until you said something, maybe I should have? Sometimes doctors are wrong. I will look at the links.
I'm glad I didn't upset you. I almost didn't say anything.
I kept Max rear-facing until 14 months or so and he was walking at Dylan's age too. I tend towards being cautious though!
Welcome back!!
Oh I am not upset Karrie. I actually appreciate comments like that. I trust myself I am just so damn busy I hate to think I would do something stupid because my mind isnt up to par 100%. I am going to talk to Jim about it. Thank you!
