Who should ride forward-facing?

Older kids who have outgrown the rear-facing capacity of their convertible car seats must ride forward-facing. These children should be not only at least 1 year old AND at least 20 pounds, but actually should be around 30-35 pounds or tall enough so that their heads are within 1 inch of the top of their convertible seats. This means children should not turn forward-facing until they outgrow their convertible seat's rear-facing height and/or weight limits.
