My son is 16 months and has been rear facing since birth (obviously). His seat has always been rear facing in the middle of the seat, but for the past few weeks he has been protesting every time we put him in the car. He arches his back, kicks his feet, slides down the seat, rolls over and sits on the side of the seat. Just to see what was going on I turned his seat around to face forward but still be in the middle and he kept protesting. Today I turned it forward and put it on one of the sides, and he sat right down and loved it.
I know that it's probably just the change that made him happy, but I really don't want him forward facing, especially on one of the sides. I would be willing to settle for forward facing in the middle if I absolutely have to, but I don't want to.
So, do you have any tips or suggestions on other ways to resolve his problem other than what we've already found? Thanks a ton!
