I see that car seats have apparently been re-designed since my sons were young. It looks like it's more of a weight limit (35-40 pounds), which is higher than it was a couple of decades ago.

Quite honestly, reading the justifications for keeping a child in a rear facing seat for a very long time makes me think all seats should be rear facing.
