Look on the stickers on the side of the car seat -- we were borrowing a friend's Graco and the weight and height limit were there. That Graco was 2 years old and the limit at that time was 20 pounds and 26". (The newer models go to 23 pounds and 29 inches, I believe.)
The American Pediatric Association actually goes a bit further in their recommendations...they say that you should keep a child rear-facing until they are 20 pounds AND 1 year AND for as long as the seat is rated to be rear facing. So, by their recommendation our son should be rear facing until he's 33 pounds because that's as long as our new Britax Marathon is rated for rear facing. It seems, though, like most physicians just say the 20 pounds AND 1 year.
