My daughter was 2 yrs. old when she started riding rear-facing in the Bouelvard. She had been riding forward-facing in a seat without any headwings. The headwings on the BLVD never bothered her because I dramatically/enthusiastically/excitedly "played up" how wonderful they are for sleeping support (plus the fact that she could watch everything longer in the windows as they fade into the distance rather than having them speed by as happens when facing front). When her older siblings were in the back with her, she was even more content. I believe kids will generally reflect back the feelings we show. If you act like you don't like them, kiddo could easily pick up on that. I'm not saying to ignore genuine discomfort, just that it's not as likely to be genuine discomfort unless the child has a sensory issue of some sort.

	Forward Facing Car Seats A forward-facing car seat is one in which the child sits facing the front of the car. The seat should be installed in the back seat of your vehicle. Most forward-facing only seats are for children above 20 pounds.

	Rear Facing Car Seats A rear-facing seat is one in which the infant faces the back of the car. Always install a rear-facing seat in the back seat of your car. This is the safest position for an infant. NEVER place a rear-facing seat in the front seat of a vehicle with passenger airbags.
