Mary's ped recommended extended rear facing based on the new research but she was a car screamer so we gave in and turned her around just after she turned 1. Thanks for the info.

Ani was until almost 19 months old (had to turn her around because two rear-facing carseats would not fit in our car and Cameron was about to be born). Cameron was rear-facing until 18 or so months. Fritz was rear-facing until around 16 months when he figured out how to turn around and stand up in his carseat while the car was moving. We decided that was not safe lol Adrian we turned around as soon as we could, right when he turned one. He gets motion sickness really bad (even when we're in going backwards Metro seats on the subway he gets sick) and turning him around helped that incredibly. After a year we were quite done hearing him scream every time we went on a trip in the car. I am all for extended rear-facing.
