Not really, its not the best wording I've ever seen but its accurate.

But I often wonder about the kids between 29' and 34' tall

I thought ff minimum was usually less than rf maximum.

auto-correct on the loose..

 

[eyeslkethesky5391]

ok well maybe it was just me....I mean if i was the "average" didn't know anything about car seats parent. I'd probably be confused. I'm just wondering where the 30lb thing came from. Why isn't it until atleast 2 years of age.

It does look weird at first glance, but it looks like a general number they came up with for "STAGE 2". Referring to the weight exclusively, parents MAY ff at 22# despite the fact that they can rf up to 30#.

Someone had complained about the carseat advertisements being so confusing:

For example, look at this Graco My Ride 65 Safety Surround photo--it has 4-40 RF and 20-65 FF tag: https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10150829125100562&set=pu.150275010561&type=1&theater

I don't get why is confusing.

Because Target carries the Comfortsport, it has a 30lbs RF max.

I wonder about that too!

Yeah, someone in the ad department maybe made a spreadsheet of all the seats they carry and the ff/rf ht/wt requirements and just stuck it up there without seeing how it could possibly be unclear. RF to 29? That's...huh...maybe Snugrides were on the spreadsheet, too?

And infant seats with a 30 pound max.

 

[eyeslkethesky5391]

oh ok...I'm really ready for convertibles to have a higher weight FF limit

What I love is that the picture there of the seat actually has different limits than what the wording is and one of my daycare parents saw the sign at Target and didnt know what the heck she was supposed to buy next.

 

[Mysweethoneybee]

If rear-facing max is 29" per the ad and forward facing is 34" min per the ad what does a 31" inch tall child ride in?

I don't see a contradiction?
