1.What can I do if my child is too big for the restraint for their age?
The new laws aim to cater for the majority of children, however there is a provision to allow a child who is too tall or heavy for the recommended restraint to use the restraint in the next age category.
Taurean- I know you didn't mean to come across as a know it all. DH have made a decision based on manufacturers recommendations for our car seat and obviously the size and weight that Frazer is. Going from the above quote we aren't doing anything illegal in regards to putting Frazer in the forward-facing position.
Artechim- I'm not sure why you thought you had to post 2 explanations about your decision to change William's seat around. I full understood your reasoning in your first post. Your decision was made in the best interests of you and him, which I believe is the basis of most parenting anyway.
No worries Olive, I think we are all on the same page.
Man I wish I could get some sleep. Amelia wakes usually once a night for a feed which is fine, but William wakes at least once usually twice so by the time I get up at 12,2 and 4 I am stuffed.
So far so good with the visiting IL's... How has everyone else managed with the extended family and the dreaded IL's?
Hi ladies, I was just wondering if you would mind me joining your thread. I have 2 kids, Harrison 22 months old and Emily born on 3rd September, I also have 2 stepdaughters aged 12 & 6. After a good quick labour Emily was born weighing 9lbs 1oz. I have read through a lot of your posts to try to catch up. I am worried about Emily's weight after reading the posts, I weighed Em 4 days ago she weighed 5.6kgs, everyone else's babies have seemed to have put on a lot more then her. She is an angel, happy all the time, feeds well, sleeps well and adores her big brother.
