Front facing car seat?

My son is 13 months and he’s been using the rear facing car seat we brought him home in. He still fits it but he’s def outgrowing it. A friend of ours donated a Britax Clicktight car seat that has both a rear and front facing option, with the front facing option starting at 20lbs. So per their, guidelines he should be safe to face forward. We wanna go ahead and install this new car seat not only because my son is growing, but because he gets car sick and I’m wondering if facing him forward would help. I looked up an article about it, but they say that you’re supposed to keep them rear facing until they outgrow the convertible car seat (65lbs for mine).When did y’all start facing your kids forward? Do you think it’s too early for me to turn him around? Per his last doctor’s visit, he’s about 30 inches, if that helps. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2QxMx6V
