While rear-facing, a large child's legs "squished against" the back of the seat does not pose a safety risk? If regulations change to mandate rear-facing for 2 year olds, then car seat manufacturers must create more rear-facing seats that accommodate larger children. My son reached the height and weight limit of his rear-facing seat at 10 months at 30lbs and 30". Shopping for another rear-facing seat to accommodate him for 2 months until he reached his 1st birthday was not in my budget. I know people will say "cost isn't an object for MY child's safety", but I'm just being realistic.
Ideally, shouldn't we ALL be facing the rear of the vehicle if we aren't driving, for our own safety? And petite ladies, maybe a booster seat is in your near future?
