Most 5pt harnesses max out at 50-55lbs.

I’d advise posting in CarSeat Safety but at their weight they have to booster.

Very unsafe for a kid that age to be back facing one accident and his legs would be broken

50 is the rf max weight.

It depends on your child’s height and and weight, as well as your car make, model, and year.

Graco nautilus 65 is a 3 in 1 and goes up to 65lbs for 5pt harness. I currently use this one for both my kids

Is it even safe to rear face at that weight?

There are no seats that rearface past 50lbs, and no harnessed seat supports over 65lbs. After 5, depending on kiddos maturity, a high back booster is just as safe, though.

You can’t rear face a 5 year old. Their legs are too long.

Shouldn’t be facing rear unless you want to kill them. Your kid needs to be turned forward at this point.

Ohh I came to ask the same thing. My son’s 5 point ,the shoulder straps have gotten too tight,they almost push down on his shoulders now. But he’s not ready maturity wise to sit on a booster.
They’re way too big for rear facing. It’s not safe.

Depends where you are located, everywhere has different laws.
Here in Australia you can’t rear face pass 4.

These comments are absolutely baffling. Yes you most definitely CAN RF a 5 year old. I’m sad that most mothers don’t know this? That’s concerning tbh

The only ones i know are diono seats and they go to 60 lbs rear facing and 90 lbs forward. Personally I’d switch Forward at this point and you maybe able to find a seat that can use the harness until taller, my son is only 50lbs at 7 and outgrew the height shortly before 7. Also every one would be safer rear facing, they are not too old to rear face so you keep doing what you prefer.
When people think that 5 is too old to rearface and that its “unsafe” 
As long as the child is within the limits of a seat, rear facing is preferred from the safety stand point. Everyone would be safer rearfacing if they could. That being said, OPs child has passed the max rearfacing weight limit and will need to be forward facing. And soon will have maxed most forward facing harnesses and should then move to a high back booster with seatbelt. I would do as others recommended and join one of the carseat pages to get more help/info.
Remember, the law does not equate safety. Gold standard would be to max out each stage before moving to the next stage.
AAP recommends a minimum of 2 but closer to 4 if possible before forward facing.

Um a 5 yr old is way to big to be rear facing. Where on earth do the legs go? The AAP recommends keeping kids rear-facing until they are too big for rear-facing in their convertible seat. For me that was when my kids were 1-2. There is no where for their feet to go!

Please check on Car Seats for the Littles. Have height, weight, torso length, budget and position in car ready as well as any other car seats for the best suggestion. Good luck.

What state requires you to forward face? Can anyone tell me that? Actually drop a link that says “at XXX age and weight limit you must FF your child” because I don’t know of a single state with that requirement.

At 60lbs it’s likely they’ve maxed every rear facing convertible car seat. I would contact a CPST for support and not just anyone on Facebook. I rear faced my son until 4 1/2, then he maxed the height/weight. At some point rear facing them can become more dangerous than forward facing if you’re not following the car seat guidelines, so it might be good to start forward facing.
However, I love Diono brand, but I notice if your kids are taller they don’t fit them as long.

Britax. My daughter used it up to her 8th birthday.
A five year old and still rear facing?
okay but there’s no reason a 5 year old should rear face, a kindergartener💀
if anything that child should be in a booster or at least forward facing

At some point, a child rear facing is dangerous. I would think that would apply for a 60 pound 5yt old. I mean, geez. What do you do with the kid’s legs? Put 'em behind their neck?

At five you should get a 5 point high back booster seat that foreward faces. Britax is a great brand.

There are no seats on the market that rear face passed 50 lbs. So you will need a forward facing seat. With that being said all 5 point harnessed seats on the market only go up to 65 lbs.

I believe every rear facing car seat has a maximum weight of 50lbs for rear facing. I highly suggest joining a car seat safety group. Car seats for littles is a good one.
I feel where your coming from, my daughter and I were both unhappy when she reached 50lbs at 5 and has to turn forward facing. I do highly suggest keeping in a 5 point harness while forward facing, for as long as possible.

I am a CRT, and well done mumma for wanting your kid rf as long as possible!!! The Axkid Minikid 3 Premium goes up to 36kg which is about 80lbs I think. Of course it depends on what country you’re in and your child Restraint standards etc.
