Not brave enough for AIBU but...

Would it be really reckless of me to forward face a 13 month old in a Joie stages occasionally?

We currently have an isize spin seat and I need to buy a 2nd car seat for DH's car that will also be used occasionally by family while they look after DS twice a week. DS is 98th centile so a big boy. I need a car seat that will be straightforward to move between cars and saw Joie Stages recommended, but when I watched an installation video it looks horrendously complicated to fit it rear facing and I dont think my mum would manage it.

I know extended rear facing is recommended and in an ideal world I would buy 3 good seats and keep them permanently installed in every car he is going to be in, but that just isnt practical.

What does everyone else do for extra car seats for family to use? I'd really welcome some recommendations of suitable seats that are quick and easy to move between cars! Smile

That should have said I would never forward face a 13 month old! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Blush Grin

My son is 98th centile for height and still rear faces in a joie stages (spare seat) at 26 months so it's highly unlikely a 15mo has legs too long...they just cross them.

Have the mini kid for my car and I love it
