We have our 23 month old(13.5kg monster) RF she is not at all uncomfortable. We were recently traveling in Australia and had to turn her round because silly us thought that Australia would have seats to accommodate her. She HATED it. I think her legs dangling was bothering her. Everyone should at least have the choice as to what they want to do
My 14 month old is only 10kg, so I think a LOT of kids can fit in their seats until almost 2 :) My friends little boy fit RF in my seat and he's almost 2.
I kept my son rear facing in his fisher price car seat until he was 18 months (and over the 14 kilo limit) but couldn't find any car seat approved on the Australian market for above that weight!! Very frustrating! I wish the seats for older kids shown in this clip were actually approved for use in Australia as at the moment, they are not.
@gilfillans well done! but for future reference rear facing seats are only tested with a P1 dummy, which is 12kgs. For Forward facing they are tested with a P6 which is 22kgs.

My daughter was about 3.5 years before we turned her. She would still be rear facing if I could get a restraint to accommodate!
