forward facing car seat

[foxymum]

do any of you girls whose babies are aound Louies age ( 9 months yesterday!) know when you are going to move to the next stage car seat, ie forward facing? or have you already done it?

i thought it was 9 months, but have just read on the baby weekly tips that i get sent by email, that it is at least 20 lbs in weight & 1 year old?

Louie is quite small so still fits his car seat lovely, any advice girls?

I think it goes more on the weight than the age. I think its 9kg before they can go in one. Aimee was really tiny too and she weighed no where near that at 9 months but she was too long for her rear facing one. I was naughty and put her in it when she was under that weight but she is only just over that weight now at 18 months.

Harrys just been put into a forward facing one as he's too tall and big for his old one now, he's fine in it.

I put keeley in her forward facing one a couple of weeks ago as she was too long for her rear-facing one...

Mayb go to mothercare and ask an advisor

But i think as long as he's still comfortable and is under 20lbs then he should be ok still

How is your Lil man?
Happy belated 9 month birthday to Keeley and Louie yesterday

We are still rear-facing as Ellie hasn't quite reached 20lb in weight. She might have now but she certainly hadn't 1 month ago. She grew out of her Mamas and Papas seat at around 6-7months old so we got one which can go rear and forward facing so that we could keep her rear-facing until she reached the 20lb mark.
