The new law states that backless booster seats will no longer be able to be sold in stores from 1st March

you missed the end of that quote off, they are still sold just with different labeling, so seems like something impossible to police - unless there is a major accident involved.

rear facing seats can be up to any age as long as child is within weight limit... Some go to 25kg which could easily be age 6 or 7. Also, rf for a minimum of 15 months only applies to iSize (r129) seats - for r44/04 seats people can still use them ff from 9kg (unfortunately!)"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30000473","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Dominatez"},"datePublished":"2017-02-07T19:42:05.000Z","text":"Thanks for the heads up.

Pelvis could be smashed when forward facing too!?
Have you ever even researched extended rear facing?
A child's legs can never be 'too long' for rear facing. They may outgrow height, but that's HIGHLY UNLIKELY around 14 months. More like around age 4 they'd be too tall to rear face.

You are absolutely correct. I was just stating minimum requirements as everyone seems to be going off on the rear facing regulations. At the end of the day if they sit n realise rear facing is the safest for their child maybe I wouldn't see people want the cheapest car seat on a day to day basis instead of what's safest for their children "},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30001557","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"eaw1988"},"datePublished":"2017-02-07T22:08:54.000Z","text":"This mght not be 100% correct as I'm sure there is talks of fines (if not mow but in the very near future) for people continuing to use backless boosters.

you're still legally allowed to put a 9kg, 11 month old forward facing but it's safer to keep rear facing. At the very least keep him in his infant carrier until he outgrows it."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30006744","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"laurieleigh"},"datePublished":"2017-02-08T17:05:20.000Z","text":"

You can legally use the front facing seat but I personally would not recommend it. Front facing seats offer no protection to the neck or spine in the event of a crash and as such are responsible for some horrific injuries to children. Rear facing seats support the while back and neck and the child many tunes safer in a collision. Personal choice but I would never put my child in a front facing seat before the age of 4."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/30024036","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"emribena"},"datePublished":"2017-02-11T12:23:56.000Z","text":"
