We made the choice to change the orientation of Quince’s carseat from rear facing to forward. Why you ask? Well, the answer is quite simple. First, our car seat was made before the new recommendation and thus not technically designed to extend rear face. Second, he was kicking the seat back
with so much force we were having to tighten the latch strap all the time to made sure it was secure enough.

Anyway, since he is now within the weight recommendation for forward facing it seemed like a good move. It’s still since as a sign of being a toddler and no longer a baby! Here’s to toddlerhood!
