My 17 month old is very comfortably extended rear facing (she's very tall too, 34 inches and 26lbs). I think it's great this is gaining popularity since it's SO much safer for our little ones!

My 14 month old is also still rear-facing and that has worked very well for us so far. Since reading about the benefits of extended rear-facing, I'm happy to see the recommendations changing and more people deciding to keep thier children RFing for longer.

My DD and oldest DS were 4 before turning FF (and we had a small car with 3 car seats in a row)...and now my 26 month old is happily ERF!

I always had turned my other children around at 1, but this one I am still rf.

Both of my kiddos are still happily RF and they will be until they outgrow their seats RF. It is so much safer!!!
