I'm hoping to receive my new XTSL this week and I'm really hoping to put my DD1 RF in it. She is definitely over 40lbs, and I know technically the XTSL goes to 45lbs. I'm just worried about actually getting her in there! She's not chubby just solid! She has already expressed to me that she would like to RF again, she climbed into DD2's RF Marathon and thought it was pretty fun (don't worry we didn't drive anywhere ) I just don't know how I'm actually going to lift her in there. It's not too difficult in the Frontier since I don't have to lift her as far. Oh and I drive an Odyssey so it is actually quite a way up from the ground.
And I really don't know how long it will last since she hasn't slowed down in her weight gain ever, she's been over the charts in weight since she was about 6 months old. I really thought she would slow down once she started walking, but we ended up having to turn her FF when she was about 19 months old because she hit 33lbs (all we had at the time was a 33lb Marathon, and I was about to have a new baby and didn't want to have to try and install a brand new car seat feeling 10 months pregnant). So I'm hoping she won't hit 45lbs before her 3rd birthday in January, but we'll see (and cross all our fingers and toes!)
