Britax Rennaissance Car Seat from what size????

[TheHollyAndTheTwiglett]

Arrgggh .. can't find the original info

does anyone happen to know from what size I can put DD in DS's old Britax Rennaissance car seat

she's almost 8 months
she sits up fine
she weighs 19lbs

thanks

I put dd2 into hers at about 8 months as she was a big baby and no longer fitted her baby car seat. I think that the guidelines are from 20lbs and 9 months for all forward facing car seats though, but we just couldn't keep her cramped in the old seat any longer. I felt that the Renaissance is such a safe car seat (so it should be, given how much it weighs!) that it wouldn't do her any harm.

our dd was in this car seat at about 14 months - she's small for her age, it was when she was over 9kg which was the rearfacing limit.

from bitax site.

9kg to 18kg (approximately 9 months to 4 years)

seems she's on the cusp of changing over

now do I do it now (as have a 230 mile trip tomorrow) or wait a month or two?

mmm .. incable of making any kind of decision today (even dithered about what to put on my toast and ended up with both marmite AND cottage cheese .. quite yummy )

19lbs is 8.67kilos BTW so she's just under
