@NRowe041726 @thecavemommy @ElliottCar69754 It has nothing to do with legs. It's all about torso height and weight. Rear facing until they max out height and or weight is safest.

@thecavemommy @ElliottCar69754 My niece is 90th percentile in height and weight and is almost 4 and still rear facing. It’s insane. You can’t tell me it’s safer to have their legs scrunched.

I genuinely don’t think anyone who hasn’t had children in the last 20 years can grasp how much room car seats take up, especially rear facing. And then you have your car seat Karen’s who think you’re a horrible person because they kept their kid rear facing till they were 6 years old and 50 pounds, or has their 13 year old son in a booster still, and anyone who doesn’t do the same thing is a neglectful parent
