Turning baby car seat around? When?

[Sterla]

Our DS is almost 15 months and around 10kg, and is still rear facing in his car seat.
I know rear-facing is safer, so have kept him facing that way. Our seat says it can handle up to 12kg rear-facing.

Just wondering what others have done? Should I keep DS rear-facing as long as possible?

I turned DS1 at 14 and 1/2 months, he could have stayed longer but i was finding it hard being preg and getting him in and out of car.

I would recommend leaving him rearward for as long as you can manage it and as long as he's not screaming to be seated forward facing Don't put your back out to keep putting him in rearward facing.

If he's still happy rear facing then I would keep him there as long as you can!

We turned DD#2 at about 12 mths I think, it was getting hard to put her in backwards!

dont mean to go a bit off topic.. or hijac your thread
but..
when they are rear facing, can you sit the cahir up so its not lying back so far? or doesnt it work that way? DD when she's sitting in it (its still in the NB postion) she tries to sit up, so was wondering can i sit the chair up anymore than what it is? ITMS?
