Toys for rearfacing car seats

[ceb80]

Are there any toys designed for rear facing car seats for todlers? We have tried one but it doesn't seem to attach onto the seat very well (is a steering wheel/dashboard thing) so is always falling off so DS can't play with it

[thisisyesterday]

you can get a steering wheel thingy that i am sure would work in a RF seat... hang on will try and find a link

[thisisyesterday]

ok you could use one of these i reckon.

i still can't find the thing i was thinking of though!!!

[thisisyesterday]

ooh yes i can it is this one

[ceb80]

I've seen that first one you linked too but was concerned that it says for forward facing only (not sure why?)

Can't see how the second one attaches, but think he would love it, me not so much!

yeah i wasn't sure either. i saw one in mothercare and almost got it for ds2 who is RF, but thought i'd get bored of it lol

the second one suctions to the window, and then the bottom strut just sits in the seat, between their legs... so it would depend on the shape of your windows perhaps?

Eh? What happens when you open the door then or am I being thick?!

[thisisyesterday]

good question! ihave no idea! lol

Oh i was wondering about toys today for DS (13 months) who has been in his RF seat for a month - he seems a little bored though and i was wondering what i could give him to occupy him?

Ill let you know if i find anything.

I saw the one from the first link in Mothercare.

It say's for forward facing use only and also say's from 12months+

I asked the woman in Mothercare why it was for forward facing use only and she replied that it was much safer for a 12month old child to be in a Forward Facing carseat so they wouldn't recommend it for rear facing has a 12month old should not be in a rear facing car seat.

I handed her the box back and left.

I am interesting in getting something for my 12month old in his rear facing car seat though.
