Rear facing car seat how long?

[PasstheStarmix]

Hi, I understand by law you need to use a rear facing car seat until the child is over 15months old. I’ve seen information saying preferably keep it rear facing until 4 years old. I was going to change ds to forward facing after 15 months old but now I’m having doubts. What does everyone think on this?

I've just found that most of the Joie seats are currently 10% off at boots

Off the back of this thread prompting me (and more pertinently what I think is possibly early labour starting for DC2 ) I've just got the Joie Stages from them for £108 with free delivery which is currently the cheapest I can find it. You also get the advantage card points too which is a bonus.

@pastabest congratulations!!

On the great car seat deal or labour?

I'm only 36+3 so ideally would prefer it to hang on for another 4 day's so I can go to the local birthing centre (won't take anyone in labour until the clocks strikes midnight on week 37) rather than trek to the bigger hospitals over an hour away but never mind.

Plus the car seat isn't being delivered until Wednesday so that could get a bit tricky with DC1....

Good luck pasta!!

Tea thanks that's a great help will have a look at those! She is quite tall for her size (50th percentile) she's long and skinny!

Pasta the car seat obviously haha

Oh hope your little one hangs on a good bit longer

13kg is 50th percentile at 2.5 years for a boy.

Thanks Purple, good to know.
