What is the height restrictions for this seat for children who are Rear Facing?

Actually, it's 40lbs and 1" from the red handle at the top (and that's the part that moves as your child grows). Nowhere in the manual does it state 32". This is one of the seats with the best/longest extended rear facing options, in terms of height.

Currently there are no laws as to when a child can face forward in a car seat. There are laws in some states that say that a belt positioning booster can be used after 3 or 4 depending on the state and that all children must be in some type of a restrained seat until they are 8. Car Seat companies are pushing to get kids rear facing longer to buy more expensive products, when they all out grow the seats height wise sooner.

I'm guessing some where around 46 inches is the minimum. If you google bike sizes Im sure you can find a chart. Diamond Back's site also might have something. My son is about 47 inches and with the seat at its lowest, he can just touch the ground.

Hello, I am not sure about the height restrictions, I have a 7 year old, pretty tall for age and weighs 68 lbs. He does fine on the tandem bike. The seat height is adjustable. Make sure you use a solid bike in the front, a road or race bike won't do, also, if you are petit tell your child not to move side ways, that can make you lose balance. That aside, my kid and I love this attachment, we both get to exercise and I do not worry about him staying behind or getting into places he should not. We used one on a vacation in Kiawa island and fell in love with the concept.

I am not positive how tall my grand daughter is. She may be a bit taller than that but I can tell you the seat is adjustable

Like someone else have state, your would need a convertible carseat to keep your child rear-facing for atleast 2yrs if not longer. This seat is great for older kids.

Yes, we have the seat for our granddaughter. We used it rear facing until she was 2 and then turned it forward facing.

Thank you for asking. It is a very good question. This Car Seat can be used forward facing for a child at least 1 year of age, at least 22 pounds and 34 inches tall. It can be used up to 40 pounds and/or 43 inches. The instructions will tell you how to install this seat forward and rear-facing. For the rear-facing mode it can be used from 5 to 40 pounds and/or 19 to 40 inches. We do recommend the child be rear-facing as long as possible. Can I answer any other questions for you?

It can be used rear facing for infants from 5 - 30 lbs and front facing for toddlers 20 - 40 lbs.

minimum weight is 22lbs-not sure what the height is but I would only use this seat for a toddler who can sit up and support themselves well on their own. While I love this seat for my three year old, I would not put my fifteen month old in it just yet, even though he meets the requirements for a normal front facing seat. This seat just does not offer the support that the larger front facers do but it is a Godsend for older children who need more leg room in a smaller car or truck.

Definitely rear facing. We used it with my son from birth and he is now 6 months old and 18 pounds. :) I think it rear faces to 40 lbs.

Yes. From their website, "This baby car seat can be used rear-facing only for babies weighing 5 to 22 lbs. and can be used with or without a base. Additional accessory bases available."

I have mine rear facing for my 13 month son. We mostly have it reclined but can not recline to all positions. I think it would sit up to all the positions but this is not necessary because his head would slump forward. He is reclined enough though. I can adjust it whenever I need and it is already belted into the seat. The annoying thing for us is tightening the dang straps!

As long as the child weighs at least 22 pounds, it will be fine. There are two sets of slots for the shoulder belts to go through the back of the seat. These allow for adjusting for children of different heights.

Correction to "Mother of Twins"--at 22lbs/head w/in 1" of top, then put the headrest on and continue RFing till 35lbs. My daughters rear-faced until ages 2 and 3 in this seat, and now one is still using it as a 5 yr old FFing. I am buying a new one for my baby now.

If your child is under a year old or under 20 lbs their carseat should be rear facing.
