baby car seat long journey
Car seats in the UK??
Ok, so the law in the U.K. is you can’t put a baby in a front facing car seat until it’s 9kg.
First of all my 7 and a half month old baby girl hates her rear facing car seat and always has. For a start she’s always looking round to see me. Also her car seat is on a bit of a recline and she always wants to sit upright. So as you can imagine every car journey is a nightmare as she trying to escape out of her seat.
Anyway, we got a front facing car seat for a baby present and I really want to use it, but she’s not 9 months yet and she not 9kg yet. Although she’s slightly under weight, she’s really long and she’s beginning to look really uncomfortable and squashed when in her car seat.
Would it be against the law to put her in the front facing car seat? Has anyone else done this before their little on reached the correct age and weight?
I would follow the guidlines of the law, I was involved in a car accident when my daughter was 4 months old, she was in a rear facing car seat. My car was written off and my daughter never even cried, didnt phase her at all. (That or my driving was always terrible). I wouldnt put her under any risk its just not worth it.

· The most important thing to keep in mind before shopping for the accessory is to give importance to the senses. Buy the accessory according to the child’s choice rather. Think from your child’s side an you will get the perfect picture of what you want. Hit their senses, be it visual or oral as long as the child is usually fascinated by something that connects their ears and eyes.
· The additional aspect to taken care is the portability side as children are usually impatient in nature. Usually, kids get drained out of something very fast and are not devoted to one particular game or object. Their likings keep changing and every second.
