When can my child transition from rear-facing to forward-facing?

Your child must be at least 2 years old and meet the forward-facing weight (10-29.5 kg/22-65 lbs) and height (71-124 cm/28-49 in.) requirements. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping children rear-facing for as long as possible until they reach the maximum height or weight for rear-facing. (Page 4)
