Based on Vada's size, it might be time to put her in her new seat where you can still have her rear-facing.My Little Wondershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905427784159741621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319000400050843557.post-77976509194391963212012-03-17T14:47:08.387-07:002012-03-17T14:47:08.387-07:00Rear facing absolutely as long as possible (broken...Rear facing absolutely as long as possible (broken legs are fixable, heads & necks- not so much), then 5 point harness absolutely as long as possible.

It's one thing to give solicited advice, but to act shocked seems rude. That said, it is probably a good time to switch her to the new seat, seems like she fIts the requirements for the bigger one. But don't feel bad for waiting this long, she clearly still fits the requirements for the smaller one, and you would have switched her had she been uncomfortable. Keep going with your gut, you are an amazing mom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
