My 3 month old is a very big baby so looking at the percentile graph this morning, he ll be 18 months when he's over the weight limit for his pram that's supposed to last till 4 years old. Do I need to think about putting money aside for a buggy that goes over 15kg, they all seem so pricey Confused

[quote 1990shopefulftm]@NameChange30 ideally we ll rear face him as long as possible, I m just not certain with him being very tall too how long we ll be able to do it for.[/quote]
If you get a 25kg ERF seat, as I advised, he should be able to rear-face until about 5. You could ask in the FB group I mentioned or contact your local specialist car seat retailer to ask about the 25kg seats with the tallest shells.

I still think the Britax Max Way Plus is a great option if you get it on offer for £215. It's plus tested, relatively compact for a 25kg seat, and has lots of growing room. There are other options though.

[quote 1990shopefulftm]@GirlInterruptedAgain we re on a bit of a budget so want to know how many big purchases we ll need in the next couple of years to know what we need to save.[/quote]
I'd just wait then, and look out for a second hand buggy when he becomes too big for the one you'vw got. Second hand Umbrella buggies are quite cheap.
