is this a rear/forward facing carseat? meaning that she might fit in there even when she hits 12,14 months? Help?

No. All infant car seats are rear-facing only. If you want a car seat you can switch to forward facing later, look at convertible car seats. They are designed to do this. Also the new recommendations from the American Pediatric Association, I believe, are to keep your child rear facing for 2 years, and the higher weight capacity of 30 lbs is designed to help you do that with this seat.

This seat has instructions to face your child forward at 1 year of age and/or 20 pounds weight whichever comes last. With that being said I think depending on the vehicle you may have a hard time fitting the child rear facing at that size plus in addition to that they will not have any leg room either. My 9 month old only has a couple inches between his feet and the back of the seat.

I'm not sure if the seat is rear facing. From what I have read, they say that children should remain rear facing until they're at least 2 years old. Weight does not matter. This may be why it recommends 2 years of age. I definitely recommend the seat, but not until he is at least 2. I hope that helps.

we have ours facing forward. I dont think you can have this carseat rear facing.The reason I say that is because the seat is pretty 'straight up' and rear facing seats usually have more angle (lay position). This seat may not offer enough leg space (or space at all) if you can mount it rear facing.

Baby can be rear-facing if placed in a compatible car seat. We used the Chicco Nextfit carseat and it clicks to lock into place inside this stroller, facing the adult who is pushing the stroller. You just have to expose two little holes by moving some of the padding in the stroller and you're all set to place the carseat in it. I love that no additional equipment was needed. Now that he sits up well, we don't use the carseat anymore and he just sits in the stroller like normal.

Farah, I haven't purchased the carseats yet, have you purchased them?I think it won't be a problem when the seats are facing forward, the problem is when facing to the rear side of the car...

Yes, this car seat can be used rear facing for children 5 to 45 lbs. and forward facing for children 22 to 65 lbs.

Yes, if she is "straight" in build and not wide in her bottom. The seat really is 14" wide. You may have to adjust the wheels to the taller setting to accommodate her legs, but that can be done, simply and in less than 30 minutes.

We got it when our son was 14 months old, we have him front faced since then, so no idea if rear facing would crunch the leg room

There is a built in attachment underneath the carseat that you can adjust for when your child is rear facing. It just flips up.But it is not like an infant carrier where you detach the base and can carry around the upper portion. This seat would be for non-infants.

No this is not an infant carrier. This is a convertible car seat that stays in the car. It is designed for both rear facing use then transitions to forward facing and stays permanently in the car. I bought this for my then 6 month daughter as she was getting close to the height limit on her infant carrier the Britax BSafe. Most importantly she looked and acted uncomfortable in the infant carseat. I am so glad I bought this when I did as she loves it and is MUCH more comfortable. It does have 3 reclining positions although for rear facing it has to be at the most reclined postion. I did continu to use her infant carrier/carseat clicked into her stroller right until she turned 7 months now she sits just fine in her stroller. Hope this helps!

What do you mean by she doesn't fit? How? Too short or what? My newborn daughter fit when she was 8lbs and 21 inches just fine. She is now 20lbs and 29 inches long and still fit great. She loves this seat very comfortable and she falls asleep with in 2 minutes of being put in it :) my s don who is now 3 also has the same one as she does he had it since birth and still fits into his great! It was well worth the money and glad they both like their car seats :)

It is rear-facing and forward-facing with harness. You would have to buy a booster when your child is to big for the seat. She simply adores it.

I think most 9 month olds are still able to fit in a rear-facing infant carseat. I would probably stick with the infant carseat until your kiddo needs to change to a convertible. Our Foonf fits in our small ford focus so I assume it would fit in the lexus SUV. The retailer Buy Buy Baby will let you install a Foonf in your car if you want to try it out first.

The seat is forward facing only but you can buy a car seat adaptor to make it rear facing for babies.

Rear facing or FF? I'm not sure on the FF but my daughter just turned three and is pretty tall for her age and still fits RF. We actually have another seat now but I enjoyed the Diono.

I think she will love it... I got one for my niece and one for my son.... These car seats have like a small platform on the bottom that you can fold in and out... When you fold it out the seat reclines a little. I think your baby will be fine.
