• Cars for tall families 24 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  In most cases my wife (who is 6ft) sits in the passenger seat, but on the odd occasion has to sit behind me - which is not particularly comfortable. Given that our 5 month old baby is already the size of a "normal" 1 year old, the likelihood is that he is also going to be on the lofty side. This has already shown to be a potential problem. The rear facing baby seat is only recommended for use by up to 9 month olds, but he may well be too big for it by then - and we are "not allowed" to put him in a forward facing seat (which would fit) until he's 9 months old....
