I would HIGHLY recommend not rushing to put him in a forward facing seat. Keep him turned back as long as you possibly can.

I do agree with your statement but unfortunately his legs is getting crunched up with the rear facing seat. Plus its a short drive to his preschool - I use the inside roads - mainly through houses so ppl are driving pretty slow.

Yes. I also uncovered the clip for extra restraint.
