Aww thanks Hayden's on the small side too, he's almost 28mo and just 25-26lbs depending on what he's wearing...that seat he's in in the pics, not the red one, goes to 35lbs RF too he would probably last until 5 at the rate he grows lol, but it doesn't offer too much leg room so now I have another option if he ever decides to grow and starts getting more squished in the one he's in now

i plan to keep Daisy RF until atleast 4 (ish) and i have jad nothing but opposition to it from family etc i keep getting the whole..she'll not thank you for that - ffs she wont know any different so how is she gonna complain about it?? and i was talking to my Older Brother who has a 2 yr old and i was telling him we needed to save up some penines so we can get her a new car seat and he said 'ah just get a FF one mine was only £xxxx and its fine' oh well ....any hoo rant over ...gorgeous pics as ever hunny

Hey girls, I've been waiting for a thread like this for a while. Just looking for some advice about buying one of the rear facing seats in UK.

MO3, lovely pics, you should be so proud of your boys.

I've tried having a look, but I have no idea what I'm looking at and it's like a proper minefield out there!!

We don't drive, so I really want the safest option for her travelling as possible, because I don't really trust a lot of peoples (well one person inparticulars) driving very much, but when we need to get food shopping and go to the hospital etc etc sometimes I have to give in and travel in the car this person. So for that reason it has to be one you can attach with a seatbeltt and not a base type thingy.

I really don't care how much it costs, but it has to be safe and fixable with a seatbelt.

Any ideas would be very much apprechiated xxx

Lovely pics, they look gorgeous as ever!

I have some questions, my seat says it is RF up to 28lbs ish, but suitable FF up to 40lbs, why can't I use it RF past 28lbs, is it because of leg room, or general weight when facing that way, I'm a bit confused as if it's suitable for a child of 40lbs I want to use it RF for that long.

Also, we just got a new car and for the past 2/3 weeks Freya has had to be FF in her new carseat as our stupid 3 door coupe had unsuitable back seats for it to be RF. When I get the car back from the garage today I am going to switch it to RF. But, do you think Freya will be bothered? I am worried she has got used to FF (she's not even the right weight yet at about 17lbs, but it was only temporary) and won't take kindly to staring at the back of the seat again! I guess I will just have to make it nicer for her somehow.

So, what do you do to keep them entertained on long journeys when they are RF? I too feel I have got used to being able to pass Freya things these last couple of weeks and it was very nice being able to see her so easily etc etc. I am going to RF her again though, as it is def safer.

Laura this is the only one i have found so far in the UK but seems really good to me and we will probs be getting it......http://www.bumpto3.com/safety/In_Car...cing_group_0_1

Kirsten, have you thought about using a babysafe mirror when she goes RF?

Thanks for posting this - your boys are so cute and look very happy in their seats!

I'd be grateful if you could please post any links you have to statistics about FF vs RF cos I think I'll have a battle on my hands when it comes to OH and convincing him to keep Leyla RF for as long as poss. If I get him something to read though, he's more likely to agree. Otherwise, I'd better start nagging NOW while Leyla is still tiny... I'll have a good few months of whining at him to get him to give in!!!

MO3 posted this a while back.....not the best but its all i could find while i have a wriggly baby in my arms LOL

Looks like you have a sweet set up there, and your boys look really happy and comfy in their seats. Congrats on the bargain!

Because she was RF up until 3 weeks ago I had a rear view mirror stuck to the back window so I could see her face, it's in the old car though, so I will have to get a new one! (It was properly stuck on, couldn't get it off, lol).

POO! lol i have a lovely big (well mot massive but fairly big) mirror that i put infront of Daisy when she's in the car.i think it came from a card shop but i cant be sure as it was a gift.......
