She turns 3 in two weeks. My goal has always been to make it to at least 3 rear-facing. My daughter is such a peanut though that I would feel better if she rear-faced until she hit 30lbs. (She's only 25 right now.) <br /><br />It's really a personal choice of the parents though. Most people turn their child at 1 yr and 20lbs because that's what the law says is okay. I'd like to see at least every child rear-face to 2 but as long as they are following the law I have no issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384952079208850471.post-43615146244589804772010-03-23T14:19:37.281-07:002010-03-23T14:19:37.281-07:00We have two My Ride 65s and LOVE them!

I have to say I prefer Bartlet. It's much softer than the cover you included in your post, but you really can't go wrong with either. It's a great seat!L.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16320253786110573523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384952079208850471.post-66263272474511732102010-03-23T11:20:20.986-07:002010-03-23T11:20:20.986-07:00I love the Graco MyRide 65 because it offers exten...I love the Graco MyRide 65 because it offers extended rear facing as an option at a great price. For my 3 yr old daughter I put her in a Britax Marathon, and she rear faced until she was 3. Now she is in a Graco Nautilus, and the Britax is in my husband's car. My son is a fat little guy, and we splurged on him during tax time and got a Radian 80 XTSL. I found a great deal, and had a coupon, so I didnt have to spend too much on it. We LOVE this seat. Honestly, I would buy another for my daughter and rear face her if I could afford another one! Also, the SL models Radian carries allow you to use latch for the weight of the seat. You cannot use Latch ofter 40-45 lbs I believe. So, this gives us the option to LATCH longer, because we feel its safer than the seat belt. Only thing you need to really double check is the height the seat offers. Because a child usually outgrows height before weight. <br />And remember, scrunching of legs doesnt matter! My daughter did not mind crossing her legs, and usually either stretched them up the seat, or just put them to the sides. Its how high their heads are on the shell. Their heads need to be at least an inch under the top of the shell. Its easier to fix a broken leg than a broken neck!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08689800456882626150noreply@blogger.com
