Car seat forward or rear seating

[Rainbow_Mumma]

I changed both my girls to forward facing once they could sit independantly and had reached the weight it says for forward facing on my car seat

Most things state 6 months or 8kg depending on seat.

But it is safer to have rear facing as long as possible (I know safe and sound Meridian can be rear facing till 12kg)

DS1 was turned at 14 and a bit months, as was getting organised for DS2 to arrive and was putting DS1 in a maxi rider then. Weight wise DS1 could have been rear facing till 20 months.
