turning car seat around

[feeb]

People see everything with babies as a competition on who does it first!!! Just like starting solids early, BF till toddlers, and turning car seats.

Kids know no different about facing front, we had a mirror for DS on back of seat and toys attached to straps that hold car seat in position (toys with big clips he cant pull off)

Thanks for that link MantaRay - if I wasn't already convinced - that would do it!

Does anyone know which carseat has the highest weight limit rear facing? DS is a chubba - he won't exceed any height limits in a hurry - but his weight might be a problem LOL!

yes thank you mantray, very interesting and shocking to think that could be a real babies head/neck. i will be sure to send that link to a few friends with babies.

i think my meridian is 12 kgs, don't know of any others... maybe google it

The Meridian is 12kg, DD is 16 months and just passed 10kg a few weeks ago, and still in the reverse position, she will be staying in reverse until she hits the limit
A lot safer in reverse

Most of the ones sold in Australia are 12kgs. You do need to check though, as some are 8kg or 9kg.

Our Compaq deluxe is only 9kg, but the newer one's are 12 kg
