I would try maybe 1.20hr and see what happens!  The move to a 1.5hr A time at 12 weeks can happen pretty quickly.

Thank you Lindsey , to be honest by the time we finish nap routine and put him in his cot it is about 1.20hs awake time.
I will persevere anyway.
I just can't understand why when he falls asleep in his cot in a dark room with white noise he can't get passed the 28 min mark, yet when he falls asleep while held i with TV on and loads of light in the lounge and I transfer him on the coach after only10-15 mins he will stay asleep for 1.5hs with some stirring but falling back asleep. I'm missing something obviously

It could be that he need more "A" time and less of a wind down if that makes sense? So maybe give him full A time until 1.15 and then a quick 5min wind down.  This was absolutely an issue with my son is that I used to do too long of a wind down, often 15-20mins because I thought that he needed that long to fall asleep, when really he needed more activity and his wind down was taking so long because he was actually UT.
