According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children should rear-face to the limits of a convertible seat, which is typically between 30-35 lbs, and only then move into a forward facing seat.
But that doesn't appear to be what you're asking.
Provided you keep your little one rear-facing, you could probably move her into a convertible seat now. Most convertible seats are good from 5-30+ lbs rear-facing, so, provided that she shoulder straps are at or below her shoulders, you should be set.
Be sure to have the installation of your child's seat checked by a certified car seat technician. 8 out of 10 carseats are installed incorrectly, and in an accident, this can have fatal consequences. Try safekids.org for a local one.

The weight varies a little depending on the carseat and they will actually say their weight requirements on the boxes or somewhere on the seats.

The weight charts are always listed on the side of the car seat. Depending on the model most are 32 lbs or higher.

Your next level up will have the weight's posted on the side of the box somewhere. I think at about 20 lbs you should be alright especially if they can hold their own head up.
