also kids don't fully develop knee caps until 10-12 yrs old. so kids at 4 - 5 yrs old are a lot more flexible and have no problems extended rear facing. our kids never argued with us when it came to rear facing it was just the way they sat in the car.
if I can find the few articles on how extended rear facing to 4 yrs at least is best I'll post them.
Sweden and Norway has one of the lowest child death rates via car accident than any other country. and it's mostly because they rear face to 4 yrs old.
there are so many articles and videos that advocate "extended rear facing" that it wouldn't take long to see how even though some manufacturers and states say you can turn them around at age 2 doesn't mean that's what is best.
look up some YouTube videos of them crash testing car seats forward facing vs rear facing. you can also look up some crash tests of just the vehicles themselves and sometimes they have a car seat or child dummy inside. I know our oldest passed all the requirements for riding without a booster, yet when I watched the video of our car in a crash test after our accident. I noticed the side impact air bag didn't go as low as their head would have been without a booster. luckily they were in their car seats when we got in our accident because if they weren't they would have hit their head on the glass or door panel/side pilar as they aren't tall enough to benefit from the air bag. That same type of accident is how a friend of ours lost their child. they hit their head on the door panel in a side impact accident. if they were in a car seat they most likely would have survived as forward facing carseat and high back boosters have torso and head protection from a side impact. also to help with side impact accidents look into rigid latch car seats as they reduce rotational movement of the seat which increases the child's protection in an accident. there is one or two YouTube videos showing the difference between a seat belted installed carseat vs rigid latch + seat belted installed carseat in a side impact accident.
I hope this helps and gives you some direction to look into extended rear facing.
last thing to add, look up:
"extended rear facing"
"carseat internal decapitation" or "forward facing internal decapitation "
"Norway extended rear facing "
"rigid latch car seats"

I'd say yes because your baby will outgrown the first car seat(if it's an infant one and not a convertible or all in one) before the car seat expiration date. And as a suggestion, keep the child rear facing as long as possible. 4yrs is usually when they should go from rear facing to forward facing. Watch their height just as much as their weight to make sure they are within the limits of the seat.

If your kid is on the taller side I'd recommend Britax as they have one of the tallest limits for tall kids. But if your kid is on the shorter side then I'd recommend a Clek oobr. There is also nuna aace for a booster which has semi Ridgid latch.
Oh also rigid latch on a belted booster allows them to recline where as all non rigid latch boosters don't allow the kids to recline for long drives. So that's also another reason to get rigid or semi rigid latch.
Looks like it stacks with the registry discount too!
