haha definitely a funny imageThe idea that my 6 year old or his friends would be in rear facing seats...LOL. His feet would be up in the air over the seats and into the boot

Shoes off in the car.
Or... rear facing seat with a seat cover.
By the way... children up to the age of 6 should really be in a rear facing seat.
God knows why people ignore the science and have them facing the front.
I didn't even think of weight, that was the reason I moved my son from harness to seat belt at 3 or so. The kids love being able to see, I would love to see somebody try to fold a 6 year old into a rear facing seat. My point about direction is that logical for every car hitting the back of another, there's got to be a car getting rear ended so I guess it depends on whether you trust yourself more than the other morons in the road.
I completely agree with you. We’ve spent at least a grand on various car seats over the years and we kept our eldest in the Concord Reverso as long as possible but he just outgrew it. I remember we had him in it on a summer holiday just before his 3rd birthday and it was just too small as he had long legs.Rear facing 5/6 year olds is no problem unless they are abnormally large. They just sit cross legged. The push to get kids forward facing ASAP is often driven by prioritising comfort or keeping up with other parents. Also, ERF seats are more expensive and require more space in the rear. Everyone is different and has different priorities. Some prioritise other aspects over safety as they are happy with the risk as they perceive it, and that’s ultimately up to those families. Saying the kids won’t fit though is weak, because they probably would.
I know many adults who cannot behave themselves, let alone small children.by the age of them kicking seats they should be 4-6yrs old ?
Wow he's going to be a giant, my 7 year old isn't much taller, what's he on the 100th centile.I completely agree with you.

FWIW he’s 5 and a half now and almost 125cm..

I do.Out of interest do you have kids? If so, what car do you drive?
Even my 3.5yr old can’t fit facing backwards without his knees by his ears and that’s in a typical family car so I’m genuinely curious how you practically manage it with a 5-6yr old.
I do.
Mazda 3.
Hes 2.5yrs old.
He will be in the rear seat until he doesn't fit.
It's amazing how distracting they can be, I've had a full on lose my temper moment with them because they wouldn't shut it and its not good when driving. I'm wondering about buying a limo with one of those sound proof screens.My little one goes behind the passenger seat and I drive 99% of the time.
We have one of those storage pocket things posted further up which is handy for some of her crap and stops her marking the seat.
We had her facing backwards for as long as we could and were reluctant to face her forward but her legs were just cramped and she was kicking off more than often.
I dunno what's safer, forward facing and the driver being relaxed and able to concentrate on the road or rear facing and a small child going nuts behind you, it really can throw your mood and concentration whilst driving imo.
