Does anyone know if this exists please? Grown out of the rear facing and not sure I know the next steps. Little one is 14 months and we would like one that attaches to the pram base again. Thank you !!!

Dont think you get a next stage carseat that attaches to a pram base

You know you can keep them rear-facing much longer? Up to 25kg!

Interested in this thread?

Look into extended rear facing options-much safer

Beyond group 0+/I-size seats you won't get one that attaches to a pushchair frame.

You may be better looking at extended rear facing seats which can be left in the car :)

Only the infant carriers can be attached to buggies. None of the next size car seats will do what you are looking for.

@Dipsydoodle he's grown out of the one we had so no point buying another rear dancing to then have to change again!

Extended rear facing seats can last until around 4-6 years old depending on the weight limit - it's 5x safer than forward facing so definitely worth a look :)

Most extended read facing seat then turn forward facing

Newbie1981 · 27/12/2019 16:44

Thank you everyone. Will look into these x

Firstly check that baby has most definitely outgrown the infant seat:

Secondly if and when it has been outgrown, you need a Group 1 seat, these will not fit on the pushchair. You can get both forward and rear facing but you should keep your child rear facing as long as possible and until age 2 as a minimum.

Another vote for extended rear facing car seat. Much safer.

Unless you have a 14 month old the size of a 5 year old, you can find a rear facing seat to fit. My eldest one was rear facing til she started primary at 4.5. My quite large ds is comfortably rear facing at nearly 2 and will stay that way until at least 4 as well.
