Rear Facing in Car

[april17]

Ok, so my little guy is not yet 5 months and we already moved him to a convertible car seat and are no longer using the infant car seat.  My question is....he already is touching the seat with his legs, so how in the world am I going to keep him rear facing until age 2?  I just don't think it's possible, unless I am doing something wrong.  Where will his legs go in order to stay rear facing?

Thanks for any advice or information you can provide!

It's ok for their legs to be squished as long as they're comfortable. I still have Zoe RF and her legs lust come up in a frog position. She was in the harness all those months though so she still kinda sits like a frog in her stroller and car seat lol! Not all kids are happy RF until 2 either and pediatircians will give you the ok if they're miserable. I would just play it by ear. I can't believe he is in a convertible car seat already! Big boy!!

Cross his legs like he would sit Indian style. RF is best until age 2 but in the state of FL law still states 20lbs and 1year
