I took these pics of DS yesterday. Wasn't sure if I should post here or upstairs, feel free to move wherever you see fit. I thought maybe these would be helpful for someone looking for an ERFing seat and doesn't have a store nearby to try them out in real life.
First, Nolan's stats: He is 3 yrs and 3 months old. Weight is 28lbs. Height is 37 inches. His seated torso height is 13.75inches and seated height from seat to top of head is 21.75inches.
** I'd like to clarify that all the below photos are taken on flat ground, and not installed in a car, where he may have gained a little more shell room.
** Also, the photos showing the measurements of shell above his head were hard to get an accurate picture. The exact measurements are listed with the photo.
Some pictures do not show the straps coming from below his shoulder like they should for RFing, but will still show how much room he has to grow.
I will add pictures of him in the Radian65 and MyRide 65 soon, as we have both of those seats at home and BRU was a circus!
Up first: The Britax Marathon
He has 3.25" of shell above his head
Seat at widest point 19"
Next, the Cosco Alpha Omega Elite
** this seat was difficult because of the huge cardboard piece stabbing him in the neck (see photo) He wasn't thrilled. I couldn't tighten it up at all, so we just made the best of it.
The position of the straps were one spot above where they needed to be, with an additional 2 above that. So he had three adjustments left for growing room :thumbsup:
He has 5.25" of shell above his head
Seat at widest point: 17.5" without the cupholder
See next post, too many photos!
