Hi, I'm posting this in carseats too, but figure I might get a better response here.
my cousin has just offered us a forward facing Britax carseat for my 9 month old DS. DS is a big boy, and has all but grown out of his baby car seat so we need a new car seat anyway, so this seemed like a win-win situation! However, I read somewhere that babies must be rear facing in france until 13 kg, and we will be driving for about an hour in france in August (to and from Dunkirk to get to the Czech Republic!).
Leaving aside the inevitable 'rear facing is safer' cries, is it the case that we'd be breaking the law to have him forward facing at nearly 11kg?
thanks in advance!
