How long should a child remain rear-facing?
Rear-Facing IS safest. It is best to remain rear-facing to the weight and height limits of the carseat. Some convertible carseats have 30 or 35 pound rear-facing limits. In all cases, infants should be rear-facing until they are BOTH one year AND twenty pounds at the very minimum. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children be kept in rear-facing seats for as long as possible. See these links for more details: Why Rear-facing is Safest.
