Extended RF with Britax

[aschmied]

I kept my daughter RF as long as I thought I could, which was to 15 months. I'd like to keep my son RF longer, bu I don't quite understand one thing...

We turned around my daughter because it seemed like the harness didn't fit right anymore with her legs bent because of length. Since the Britax harness goes over the upper leg instead of around the waist, how does that work, and have the harness properly snugged? (No matter how they squirm...)

Thanks!

	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.

MOST kiddos criss cross their legs or dangle them over the edges. i haven't really seen any issues with ERF kiddos where the straps over their laps/hips has affected it.

	Extended Rear Facing extended rear facing--Carseats and some states laws require your child to be rear facing until 1 year AND 20lbs. The new recommendations are to rear face your child to the weight limits of your seat, 30, 33 or 35lbs.
