Hello! My adorable 19 month old daughter has Down Syndrome and I would like to know if anyone has any experience with a convertible car seat that might be best for her needs. She weighs 21 pounds and is 31 inches long. Due to her somewhat low tone, I will be keeping her RF for as long as possible. She also gets a bit sweaty and we sometimes spend lots of time in the car. I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey. I was looking for a Britax, but I am open to other options. Since children with Down Syndrome are a little bit more on the petite side, I am certain that I will be using this seat for a long time. Thanks for your help!

	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.

	Convertible Car Seats Convertible seats are for infants and toddlers. The seat can be used as a rear-facing seats for younger children, and switched to a forward-facing seat on the child's first birthday if the child weighs at least 20 pounds. However, experts recommend keeping the child in a rear-facing position until he or she outgrows the weight or height allowed by the safety seat.
