to change or not to change?
hi ladies, Holly is 10 months today. i got her weighed yesterday and she is 9.86 kg or 21 lb 11oz.
My question is should I change her to her next car seat? I was going to weight til she was 12 months but she has had a bit of a growth spurt and her head has just come above the back of the seat, so I dont know if its safe for her anymore. I know she meets all the minimum criteria for the new seat but I was really hoping to keep her rear facing a bit longer. Obviously I want to do whatever is safest!
Thanks xxx

I agree with Fooxoo, I remember going to a car seat safety class held by our HV and I remember her saying that as soon as their head comes over the top of the seat it is time to change x
Thankyou
