Aha

I should clarify, though -- any FF only seat (such as the Regent) is not safe for any child not yeat at least 12 months + 20 pounds ... & that any child who still fits the RF limits of a convertible seat should ride RF regardless of age

If you have $ enough & think kiddo will ever ride with the inlaws, you could save that seat as the spare especially for them (any correctly used seat will protect kids, but I personally would want a more reliable seat for primary use)

	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.

	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.
