OP, what country are you in? Do you live in Dubai or did you just buy the Graco Junior there? At 1 year old and 20lbs, I would definately recommend she still rear face in a car. 1 year and 20lbs is the absolute bare minimum for forward facing. I would recommend getting a convertible seat that can rear face and forward face. That way you can install the seat forward facing on the plane and rear facing in the car, since KLM does not allow rear facing.

Also, how tall is the child?
