    We turned DD around at about 12 months old. We also did the research and found that rear facing was so much safer and as she travelled well in the rear facing position there was no reason to turn her earlier.

    They say you can turn them as soon as they can support their heads but having seen the videos their necks are just so weak. I would definitely encourage people to keep babies rear facing for as long as they possibly can.

    DD1 wwas turned at 10 months (8.5kg).

    DD2 is now way over 8kg and very tall and looks a bit uncomfrtable, but she has not got very good head control so i wont be turning her for a while yet.

    The longer you can leave them RF the better.

    I'm definately not changing Madeleine around to face us then! She can cry sometimes when she can't see us and more often than not, I have to jump in the back when we go on the lengthy trip, she gets happy then when she can see me
