noni, no need to feel so bad. max weighs 6.6 and i've already got her in the non-capsule type car seat and facing forward. she's been a happier baby since i turned her around. but, in saying that, was told by chn that legal age to turn their seat around is 6 mos.

speaking of car seats, i bought this thing from toys r us that keeps their head from slipping to the side. it's like those airplane pillows that you can buy but this is a pair of rectangular pillows that velcros around the straps. used it for the first time today and it worked! she fell asleep on the drive home and her head stayed up. oh, also got her these things that keeps the strap together. they snap close around the straps and keeps them together in case the straps are loose. am i vague enough about these things? just wanted to share this in case any of the bubs need it.
