Nooooooooooooooo! Do NOT turn your child forward-facing until they meet the rear-facing weight limit of the convertible car seat. Most convertible car seats rear-face up to 40-45 lbs now. The AAP recommends that children rear-face until at least 2 years of age due to the risk of internal decapitation. They recommend rear-facing as long as possible until the child meets the rear-facing weight-limit on the convertible car seat.

It depends on the car seat model. Some are 30 pounds, some are 35. Everyone should read their car seat manual to be sure.

Great info by the way. Good job.
