For having some of the tiniest kids ever? I posted a pic of my 4 YO RFing in a scenera (with room to grow). Today, I realized that my 6 year old could still RF in the Radian XTSL. He's 42 pounds fully clothed on the doctor's scale. Unfortunately, this isn't something I'm very happy about, he's extremely thin and I'm trying to feed him high calorie meals and adding coconut oil to everything.

Anyway. Is there anyone else out there who has super tiny kids? I'm thinking a coccoro may not be a bad investment for our new baby, especially if it makes it easier to buckle a booster seat when the time comes. (6 YO has about 5 more inches in the RN until he gets to 53")

Yeah, Piper is 43 pounds at 7.5 years. In September she still had 1" above her head in the True Fit. She had a ton of room in the CA above her head. She's not remarkably short, but short enough. And very light.

I'm not in the least bit concerned about her weight or size. She's perfect.

I think you babies are smaller than my DD. I have one petite DD and one huge DS - and they are twins! They just turned five years old a couple of weeks ago.

DD is almost 40in tall and weighs 35lbs. She hit the 33lb rf limit on our seats at 4 years and 4 months old.

DS is around 46.5in tall and weighs 54lbs. He hit the 33lb rf limit on our seats at 2.5 years old.

So they are almost 7 inches apart in height and 19lbs. Many people don't realize they are twins because of the size difference!

N is small. He's 5y2m and 37lbs and currently RF in a Radian80. I have no doubt that he could make it to 6, possibly 6.5 RF in an XTSL or 80SL. He's still got about 1.5-2 inches of torso growth before hitting the 1'' mark.

I've got some small kids. Almost 6 years old and 36lbs. 4 1/2 years old and 34lbs. They're not skinny, just a small package I guess, lol. I think they both fit in the Scenera.

They weren't small as babies. In fact my boy was 9lbs 2oz at birth.

I'm 5'10". Go figure :rolleyes:

You can also see them rear-facing in a Safety 1st Complete Air here: http://carseatblog.com/?p=4038

DS1's biosister was 42" and 42 pounds at age 8.5. Tiny! And she was all legs, so I'm sure she could have RF in a RN XTSL. (I put her in HBB, though.)

Josef is 6yrs1month, 44lbs fully clothed. Always has been on the smaller size for weight, but we are not worried about him since he follows *his* growth curve.
