Okay so everything i've read said that your kid has to meet the height, weight, and age requirement of 1 years old for a front facing carseat. True? Jake and I have argued alot about it cause i said she has to stay in her infant carseat till 1 year but he thinks its fine. What's your theory?
What we have gathered is that they must be 20 pounds and it is preferred that they are 20 pounds AND one year old. They year old thing is because of the development in their neck muscles in case you are in an accident. With Jackson he was so strong we felt totally fine putting him forward when he got his new seat about two weeks before his birthday. With Ryan, I would have preferred to wait the extra month, BUT we were in a bit of a sticky situation with Andi's arrival. SO to make up for this next month, we have Ryan's new seat completely reclined in hopes that that helps a bit. He meets the weight requirement though so at least there's that. I say wait if you can, but for some they get so tall and what have you that you may need to turn them around a few weeks early. But I would say ONLY if they meet the weight requirement.
"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings." --President Gordon B. Hinckley
The end of 1995 was the start of our life together. We took a break for two years in 1997, but once Andrew returned, we continued finding out who we were together and apart. We both ventured off to college but came back together again in 2003 when it was finally time to get married. Our first son was born May 20, 2006 and we love every minute we have with Jackson. Our second son, Ryan Wesley, was born February 15, 2008 and he is simply adorable. Both so wonderful yet so very different. We gained a daughter with the birth of our third child on January 13, 2009. Andi keeps us on our toys and we can't wait to see all she does! Our fourth child, Cole, was born March 2, 2011. This little man makes us all so very happy. We are grateful to God for our incredible family and all the joys and challenges they bring!

She meets the weight and height for forward facing but not the age. So i'm still torn.
