My little boy turned a year old last week and he's a little over 20 lbs...I just bought a new car seat (Graco Nautilus) because I felt he was bored in his rear-facing seat (Chicco KeyFit up to 22 lbs), plus the cover on it made him really hot and sweaty no matter how high the A/C would be, causing him to be cranky in the car. This new car seat's minimum weight is 20 lbs, we put him today and he loved it! he was able to view everything needless to say the cars eat is very comfy...My question is: am I being irresponsible for switching him to a forward facing seat already? I mean the minimum requirements are 1 year old and 20 lbs right? but I know some people say "keep them rear-facing for as long as possible" which with my Chicco KeyFit would only be possible for a few more months when he's 22 lbs...any suggestions? advice? encouragement words?
Thanx
