1 year old too big for rear facing car seat

A 1-year-old child is typically not too big for a rear-facing car seat, as safety guidelines recommend keeping children rear-facing as long as possible, at least until they are 2 years old, or until they exceed the height or weight limit of the car seat.

Most convertible car seats are designed to accommodate rear-facing until the child reaches 40-50 pounds, depending on the seat model. If your 1-year-old is still within the weight and height limits for rear-facing, it's safer to keep them in that position.

You can check your car seat's manual for specific height and weight limits to make sure you're following the manufacturer's guidelines. It’s best to consult those limits and keep your child rear-facing as long as possible for optimal safety.
