20 months...Had no choice. We got a new car seat and it didn't fit RF if anyone else was sitting in the seat in front of him...I felt comfortable doing it..This was before the recommendation of RF until 2 came out

Still rear facing at 27 months. Weight limitation on seat is 45lbs and DS is about 30 so he will be rear facing for a while.

21 months and still going... as long as we can. I don't imagine turning him around anytime soon nor having a reason to.

We turned my older DD at 17 months, but at the time, the recommendation was 1 year. Now that the recommendation changed, I'll be keeping my younger DD RF till at least 2.

DD is 20 months and still rear facing. I won't turn it around until my peds recommendation of at least 2. They say the longer you keep it rear facing the safer it is for the child. So if I can get past 2 without her being uncomfy I will.

2 and a half

Partly because we didn't know how to switch

But I felt safer with him facing backwards

ITA - DD is 18 months and she's doing ok. She's 75%. (She does FF in DH's car, but she's only in there once a month or so)

My DSs were off the chart height, so I turned at 12 months. But that was the recommendation at the time.

Chat Icon #1 will be 3 in a week and a half and is still RF.
Chat Icon #2 is 13 months and still RF.

Our plan is to keep them both RF until they reach the height/weight limit.
