Dr. James Ferguson answered

Convertable : A convertible seat with a 35-40 lb rear facing weight limit, a 40-50+ lb forward facing limit & a 5 point harness.Kids should rear face until at least 2 to prevent catastrophic neck injury & can stay rear facing to the upper weight limit at any age. Some worry that the legs look uncomfortable, but this is a safety device not a throne. See: www.Joelsjourney.Com for an enlightening video.
