And poor you and the new shift! You can do it.<br />On the carseat, I do think it'll be fine, P will keep his knees a bit bent anyway, and he'll love to kick the back of the seat!<br />Oliver is a bit older (11 months on the 1st of Decemeber!) and also has no teeth! He can crawl but mostly goes commando style and for the last couple of weeks he started pulling himself up (and falling if looses the grip!). It won't be long for P now! <br />Much love, FranFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717020378275616297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-13709015803197000172011-11-26T05:51:04.896-05:002011-11-26T05:51:04.896-05:00I lucked out and got a Britax seat as well from Fa...I lucked out and got a Britax seat as well from Fairyeggs. I'm planning on keeping him rear facing as long as possible after watching the scary video about neck injuries versus leg injuries. Yeah. Scared the beejeezus out of me. Anyway, I've just been tucking E's legs into a comfy position which is usually knees bent and out, feet touching in center. I think he'll be sitting cross legged soon.jenicinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361606793108116475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-3409955077662188752011-11-25T18:36:44.146-05:002011-11-25T18:36:44.146-05:00I hope your hubby's drivers license gets taken...I hope your hubby's drivers license gets taken care of soon!

But we still squished him in there for at least another couple of months. Ours is only front facing, so that is it. We got it after extensive research, and the German ped association says it's fine, and they have taken the no speed limit on highway in consideration, so it's fine for us too. <br />Sorry for the many working days ahead. I hope they pass easier than you expect.<br />Couldn't get to the post office, it's been quite a mess of my plans, but I will get to it next week. <br />Hope P is back to his routine. For both your sake. :-)Minahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148000699685037451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-26569648704647666472011-11-25T14:45:58.775-05:002011-11-25T14:45:58.775-05:00For the car seat, REAR FACING AS LONG AS HUMANLY P...For the car seat, REAR FACING AS LONG AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. <br /><br />If your car seat is rated to 25 lbs rear facing, no matter how long he gets (in the legs, check at the top of his head though; each seat is different), then keep him rear facing in that seat til 25 lbs. Scrunched up legs are fine. He needs to be rear facing until at least one year old. They just don't have the head control to sit front facing and they are in a much better position to survive any incident if they are rear facing. <br /><br />Petite was rear facing until one year and three months. I held off as long as I could. Her legs were scrunched up. But she was still within the categorical limits for rear facing and I know it's much, much safer for her. Hell, if I could sit her rear facing now, I would. <br /><br />Trust me. REAR FACING is the way to go. I can give you the contact info for a car seat specialist... who will tell you exactly the same thing. Guaranteed. /nod nodGilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726325164456309750noreply@blogger.com
