Forward facing car seat

5 years old. My first screamed every car journey for years, eventually he grew out of it. Rather a screaming baby than a broken neck (sorry to be blunt). By law they have to be rear facing until 15 months minimum x

I'm sure it's law to be rear facing until they are 15 months old 🥺, I can't talk from personal experience but I know another mum who's baby was the same and although it's not ideal, she disabled the front passenger seat air bag and installed the car seat there rear facing and her baby was much happier 💗

My oldest still rear faces now and shes nearly 5. So for my second I will aim for the same as a minimum. And trust me my second hates being in the car too and screams. Especially if we are in stop start traffic. They do grow out it and gets better when they move out of the infant seat and into the next stage seat.

Minimum 4 years, ideally older. 1. It's law to be a minimum 15 months. 2. Screaming or not, it's just so much safer to rear face. Give them things to distract them, play music etc. They cant know what they're missing if they dont forward face until older.

Legally height based seats they have to be older than 15m , weight based seats over 9kg . My first was 4 months when we swapped him . My twins will be using the same car seat and will be as soon as they’re to heavy for me to carry or to big for their infant carriers

It’s not advisable but your child your choice.

I think I turned my first around 20 months. It’s personal preference x

4-5, but closer to 5. As above, I’d rather have a screaming baby than one with a broken neck but I would try putting them rear facing in the front seat with the air bag off, certain toys, happy song by Imogen heap, and if none worked I’d honestly just limit car journeys but I wouldn’t be caving to forward facing until at the very least 4.5.
