No. It will last until the child is 65lbs though. It can be forward or rear facing (which is helpful now that they recommend waiting longer to turn baby forward).

I do remember but I think my son will be to long and age out before he reaches 23lbs. I remember that it does say that when they can sit up you should stop using it. Around 4 to 5 months

Children are very flexible so their legs wouldn't be "too long" for years. My 26 month old is still rear facing and loves to flop her legs all over the place. We don't plan on turning her around anytime soon. I have some friends that are still rear facing their almost 4 year olds. Their skeletons are still forming and solidifying.

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

Probably not. Seat goes by height/weight NOT age! Weight limit is 40 lbs facing forward.

A 1 year old, no matter how much they weigh, should still be rear facing, a 25lb child, no matter how old they are, should also still be rear facing, so, no, you should not use this for a 25lb 1 year old.

The seat is made for a maximum of 45 lbs. and/or 40 inches in height. That would make them approximately 4 years old depending on the size of your child.

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

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!

Forward-facing: 22 to 40 lbs and 34" to 43" tallBelt-positioning booster: 4 years old, 40 to 80 lbs and 43" to 52" tall.

This should not be used for an 11 or 12 month old. You need a "convertible car seat" with 5 point harness, that has the capacity to rear face and move to forward facing as the child ages. The APA now recommends that ALL children are rear facing until AT LEAST 2 years of age. My son is 4.5 years old, was rear facing until 3.5 years old in a convertible seat, then forward facing in it and now moving to this high back booster.

This is a smooth riding stroller but it is roomy so it is best to start using at a sturdier age like 10-12 months. My tall 21 month old still has plenty of leg room so maybe up to two and a half or three years.

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.

Rear-facing infants from 5-40 pounds (19"-40") and forward-facing toddlers from 22-65 pounds (34"-52"). My son is 16 months old and 27 pounds, I still have him rear facing because it is so much safer for him. :)

It is suitable for children 40-120 pounds AND 38"-63" tall. Typically children can be at least 4 years old, but it is highly recommended to keep them in a 5-point harness booster seat instead (like the Britax Pioneer, Frontier or Pinnacle). We usually recommend this seat for children around 6 years old.

for the toddler seat, it is recommended that the child is at least capable of holding its head up without support, so it is not so much a matter of Height, but capability. Normally, I would say fro the Age 8 months and above, to be on the safe side. but some may be able to utilize it sooner, all depending on physique.
