Can you guys just answer it for me..
For someone born on leap year, they obviously aren't legally only the age of how many February 29th birthdays they had, s what day is their 'legal' birthday? Do they just make it the 28th? or March 1st?

Typically the 1st I hear since their birthday will always be the day after the 28th

but if you use that logic it will always be the day before the 1st

I'm not using logic, I'm using what I've heard from people with leap year birthdays

going by logic, that's incorrect. The 1st of March is not
always directly after the 28th of February.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year#Birthdays
A person born on February 29 may be called a "leapling" or a "leaper". [9] In common years they usually celebrate their birthdays on February 28 or March 1.
For legal purposes, legal birthdays depend on how local laws count time intervals. For example, in Taiwan, in common years, the legal birthday of a leapling is February 28, so a Taiwanese leapling born on February 29, 1980, legally reaches 18 years old on February 28, 1998.
If a period fixed by weeks, months, and years does not commence from the beginning of a week, month, or year, it ends with the ending of the day which precedes the day of the last week, month, or year which corresponds to that on which it began to commence. But if there is no corresponding day in the last month, the period ends with the ending of the last day of the last month.[10]
In some situations, March 1 is used as the birthday in a non-leap year since it is the day following February 28.
Technically, a leapling will have fewer birthdays than their age in years. This phenomenon is exploited when a person claims to be only a quarter of their actual age, by counting their leap-year birthdays only. In Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879 comic opera The Pirates of Penzance, Frederic the pirate apprentice discovers that he is bound to serve the pirates until his 21st birthday rather than until his 21st year.

Looks like it can go either way.
