Wow. I'm normally a Regent fan. I got the radian for my 5 year old, but she's not home so I had Hannah and Emily try it out. They fit!!! Hannah (10) is 66lbs and about 53inches tall. Emily is about 69lbs and probably 51 or 52 inches tall.

I'm happy that Stella will have plenty of growing room!!!

Here's the pictures. These two ride in Montereys usually.

Wow, that's great! I just bought two for my 3 yr old and she's on the LAST harness slots!! She was on the second to last in the house but once installed, on the last. They can go over the top slots a little in the RN, though, right?

Man, I have really got to stop calling DD1 Bitsy, she's been way over the top slots since she was 8, lol.

Cool pics, cute girls :)

Ok, seriously, that's just wrong.

I think my 3 yr old fits the seat about the same as your 9 yr old....

:thumbsdown::p

ETA: Glad it'll work well for ya though, and for awhile looks like. =)

How in the name of *(&#. It looks like trick photography to me. My 4 year certainly isn't bigger than your girls but has the same amount of room in the RN. (Less even.) :dizzy:

My dd was over the top slots around age 6ish.

Ds is 5 and has about 1.5 inches to grow!

The pictures were taking inside though. Haven't tried it in the truck. My 5 year old is just barely over the second to last slot so I put it up to the top. The funny thing is that both Hannah and Emily and Stella can all share the seat in the truck. LOL. They won't though. Hannah and Emily pass the 5 step test in the truck and I'm fine with them in nothing in there.

They ride in montereys in my van. Although Hannah (the 10 year old) now wants to sit in the Regent again. LOL. Not a chance.

I weighed them today... Hannah is only 64lbs, Emily is 68lbs (down from 74lbs when we got her in June... I promise we do feed her :p) and Stella is 46lbs.

I can't believe how small Hannah is. I'm 5'9 and her dad was about 5'11. But his mom is only 5'1 LOL. Maybe she'll be short.

My DS will be 9 in April :)eek:) and still fits and rides in a Radian, with his shoulders slightly under the top slots. Yes, the short torso fairy blessed him, too. :p (Seriously, though, he's short for his age and also short-torsoed/leggy.)

This is my dd at 5.5 years. Obviously, at this point she'd just about outgrown it. She's almost 8 now. Her shoulders are probably above the top!

For comparison, this is her in the FPSVD at almost 6

I'm terribly jealous of all your short torsoed kids. She is about 4'6" ( a month ago). She's one of very few kids who are close to that 4'9" rule at her 8th birthday.
