road trip with extended rear facing kids

my extended rear facers and hbb 7 year old on the way to visit friends ( the water bottle is a projectile, normally this is not a good idea, but it was the only thing keeping him happy at that point so we let him hold it)

Prayforbabies, I plan to keep my son rear facing to age 4, his sister was 4 when she turned forward facing.

the one he is riding in thre cost about 150 bucks there is the my ride 65 for 130 at walmart.. that rear faces to 40 lbs, you can get lots of lower cost seats that rear face to 35 lbs!

this was in July, she rear faces in our radian (retroactive to 40 lbs rfing) and ff's in a frontier.. depends on her mood.. I have a rule that my kids must rear face to 3 or till they out grow the rear facing limits of the seats we have... we have a 45 lb radian xt on the way so that wont be a problem with our son (he is 13 months now)

but 3 is the magic age for us, after that its up to them, (she LOVES rear facing at almost 4 years old though)

Cute video! I always love to see those rearfacing carseats. Many people don't believe kids can actually sit that way, but your kids prove they can be happy and comfortable rearfacing as they get older.

@jfmom I wish my 4 year old daughter didnt weigh 46 lbs or she will still be refacing. she wants to be turned back around but I cant find a carseat that will take her ERF. she is in the Graco Natulis and loves it but like I said she wants to be RF. I am looking at good ERF carseats for my almost 6 month old that also has eff harness to 65 or above harness. I am looking at the Myride 65 and the alpha Omega Elit.
