H-7 1/2 years. 70 lbs and 53" (4'9" state) Holy cow.
M-(niece) 5 years. 35 lbs and I don't know how tall. I swear to you, in June she fit in a Scenera like she fits in this today. Talk about a growth spurt! She's gained 5 lbs, and grown at least 3 inches because she all of the sudden outgrew pants for the very first time.
So, with H, her hips are too wide to fit in the Cosco booster, which has a slightly lower profile. She has a Dakota in DH's truck, but it doesn't give her any better fit in my car. The headrests in my car DO NOT go up. I'm praying she makes it to March which is when she turns 8 (the law) but I am just not sure.
With M, I think a Turbo is in our future. H still needs her seat, otherwise I'd put the back on it and give it to M. She'd be pretty narrow in it, but then I wouldn't have to buy a new one. She's right at (within .5") of outgrowing the harness, and her ears are getting up there to the top too. Dang growing.
Honestly, a new seat is not in the finances for my sister or us right now. DH is on his 10th month off, sis has been off since February so neither of us have a lot of money to spend right now. We'll figure things out, they'll work out because the always do, and for the time being, we'll stick with what we've got, but if either make it to Christmas in their seats it'll be a miracle.
