UPDATED WITH PICS IN POST 8
I have no clue if this is a common problem as no one on here really has one Searching didn't do me much good
I've never had a problem with a harness in a seat before. My kid is teeny tiny. They are all long enough
However when I put on her Columbia fleece yesterday and she was a little "bigger" and went to loosen the straps of her young sport I realized they didn't loosen very far (I usually never loosen or tighten much). When I tried to tighten the harness there was like 1 inch of harness hanging out. The harness was tight with the jacket. I guess I never noticed if it was short or not before cause I never adjusted it, but I know it wasn't 1 ". There's really nothing left to pull
She is no where near 40 lbs and is average height but has a short torso(maybe 13-13.5" or so, she fits in all 40 lb seats forward facing other than the CS) . She's got 1" to go before even moving up to the next "slots".
Is there even gonna be any harness left? I don't even see how there will be if I move the straps up. Won't there be less? You can't loosen or tighten the harness at all (no its not caught, it really is that short)
I tried younger DD in it yesterday who is fairly small for her age and it was still very short for her
But I remember a pic of I think firemoms 5 year old in the seat and she was wayyyyy bigger than my tiny kid and she seemed to have enough harness
I'm stumped
