When did you switch to forward facing?

Hello, I have an isize car seat and my ds is approaching 15months and I was just wondering if I should turn him front facing at 15 months or keep waiting and when did you switch?

I don't know many parents IRL that rear face after 2 (only one I think) so very different to Mumsnet.
I found this too. Most of my friends have car seats which are able to ERF (e.g. joie 360) but most had turned their children forwards by the age of 2. I was really surprised because most of my friends are very concerned about safety e.g. wont let them climb the slide on their own, but seem to be fine with forward facing which is potentially much more dangerous.

Agree Rabbit. It worries me that RF is still seen as niche in the U.K. rather than the safest way to transport children.
