Facing Foward

We finally turned Paisley's carseat to face forward. We had hoped to go longer with her being rear-facing (since it's safer to do so), but her legs were so long and she would kick the seat back. And kicking would loosen her seat... making it less safe. She is over the age of 1, and she is over the 20 lb weight in which you can safely face them forward (she's still about 21 lbs... maybe just a bit less), but in an accident, it's safer for her to be rearfacing. Did I just confuse you all? Anyway.... I miss the rear-facing. We had a mirror in which I could see her in the rear-view mirror... and now she's too low to see, so I have to either turn my head or really adjust my mirror, both not very safe options.

I think she likes facing forward though.... but now she's always seeing what's up front and wanting it.... coffee, paper receipts.... anything really.
