Car seat situation after 1

So my 16 month old is about 10.5kg; he’s still good in his rear-facing infant car seat until 13kg, according to the maker.

What is the next step when he outgrows this? When I look up a lot of information online, I get mixed information about how a lot of kids should be in rear-facing until age 2 or 3, but all the car seats for 1+ at the store here in Japan seem to be forward facing.

When did you transition from the infant car seat, and what kind of set-up do you have now?

Also, we visit family in the US sometimes and I always bring the car seats with us, as we are dependent on cars there. It is helpful to have something up to the law’s standards over there as well (and a plus if it can go on an airplane seat!)

TIA for any recommendations!
