Lydia, 2 years, 11 months

Lydia rear-facing in the Britax Marathon at 2 years, 11 months old.  Lydia weighs 29lbs 11oz and is 35 3/4 inches tall.
Mom's Notes: She is shown next to her sister Kimberly who is 19 lbs.  She is just even with the second harness slots on the Marathon. She occasionally rides forward facing in an Alpha Elite Apex 65 but prefers to sit "backwards" with her little sister. She will ride in the Marathon rear facing until the birth of our fourth child in late August 2007, when I will need to move her little sister into the Marathon to give the Scenera to the new baby.

 

Lydia rear-facing in the Cosco Scenera at 2 years, 5 months old.  Lydia weighs 26 lbs.

 

Lydia rear-facing in the Graco ComfortSport at 1 year, 6 months.  Lydia weighs 20 lbs.  She was 18 months old and 20lb 4oz when the pictures were taken, she's now 24lb and 21 months old and still rear facing. She'll continue to rear face until the limits on her Graco ComfortSport, then will be moved to a different seat - either a Radian or a Britax Wizard or Marathon.
