MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 It depends on the child's age & / or weight, children must normally use a seat until they are 12 years or 135cm tall - whichever comes first Height & weight based seats have different rules Google Child car seats the law - it's long & quite complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAZ91 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 My lad was in a front faceing at 9 months as he had outgrown his infant seat. Currently he is in the Britax King II LS which is really good, easy to move between mine our parents cars if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 There are also laws regarding the deactivation of NSF airbags if a child seat is in the NSF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 There was a recent web story concerning booster cushions. Britax (I believe) stated that they aren't fit for purpose and should be discontinued due to tests showing kids slipping out of them on impact and sliding out from under seatbelts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marks12 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 It's just that I put my 7 month old in a forward facing car seat and my mams friend seen this and said we should go back to the backward facing car seat untill she's at least 1 yrs old something to do with the chance of the child getting whiplash either in a crash or a brakes being applied heavily I just never heard of this and wanted to know if you guys knew anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 What age do you leave your baby in a infant car seat or a rear facing car seat so when do switch them to a front facing seatCarry cott doesnt go by age but weight, Its up to 13kg But my lad is now 11kg at 8 months and too long for it, hes sitting up holding the handle lol Big debates on the milf forums about keeping kids rear facing up to 2yrs old because of head on accidents etc. I say down with that sort of thing Ted, only thing i like rear facing is me missus First item on next months shopping list is a maxicosi axiss front facing seat that unlocks to rotate sideways Easier to get em in and out, Also reclines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks12 Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yes I know that a kid needs a seat untill a certain age and weight what I was looking for was the age that they can be put into a forward facing seat ha-ha And Lenny good choice on the car seat I have that one and am using it always reclined aswell she's loving facing forward aswell so I might just ignore the milfs forum that is also why I asked here cause more of a chance of getting a sane answer here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) The definitive answer is that the child must be over 15 months of age to use a group1 forward facing seat & weigh between 9kg & 18k Subject to : The child must be over 15 months to face forward in a height based seat The child must weigh more than 9kg to face forward in a weight based seat Crash tests & official studies show that a rear facing seat is safer than a front facing seat Edited August 17, 2015 by MONDEO TXS 2.2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
