At what age did you turn the car seat around?

My boys were rearward facing for as long as possible. DS1 was 16 months before he turned after his brother was born. DS2 was 26 months when we faced him forwad. Both were under 12kg DS1 is 3 and has only just reached 12kg. DS2 was turned because he was too long not weight wise though.

I just checked and it says "it is recommended" to always use the insert in rearward facing position... so I guess it would be safer to take the insert out if he doesn't fit any more and leave it rearward facing. Maybe I should ring them!

Thanks!!

we have a different safe n sound model but we were like heaven & just took the insert out when things got a bit tight. DS is a pretty big boy but he was still rearward facing until over 8 months.
