It is hard to come to terms with the fact that Tara will be 6 months old on Monday and starts swimming lessons (that's if her cold is gone away) and then immunisations on Wednesday and her MCHN visit on Thursday for weigh in. I'm guessing she now weighs between 7.5kg-8kg's . We are also doing the car seat change this weekend as well to forward facing and I've even just bought another cheaper car seat for our little car and also a stroller so I don't have to take the big car out all the time.
Kelly, i know a lot of mum's turn their bubs at six months - just check with your car seat to make sure it's ok to turn your baby weight wise as well as age wise - i know ours says at least 8kg. not sure if you're getting Tara weighed for her six month check, but it's something to keep in mind. i have been reading the details for our car seat today trying to work out how much longer i can keep DD rearward, and it says she should be at least 8kg - and can be rearward as late as 12kg. your MCHN should be able to give you some more info about whether it's safe for your DD if her weight is on the cusp
