DS2 was 22" at birth and needed to be on the 2nd slots of the Keyfit30 from day 1. He's now almost 9 months old, 18lbs, and is about to outgrow the Keyfit any moment (has about a 1/2" of torso growth left). He was 29 1/2" long at his 8 month check-up, which is how tall DS1 was at a year old. He's been on the 3rd slots of the Keyfit for about 2 months now.
I was planning on getting the TFP seat, but now I'm not sure. I tried him out in it and I'm afraid he'll outgrow it before some of the other seats. His head was even with the red line on the the seat (where the headrest connects) about a month ago. Does anyone know how tall the TFP's top slots are? I tried him out in a Radian 80SL, CA, and Britax BV today. He had about 6" of torso growth in both the Radian and CA, but only about 4" in the Britax. DS1 who is 6 1/2 years old, 48", and 52lbs also sat in the seats and his shoulders were just about even with the top slots in both the CA and Radian (he was actually a smidge below the Radian slots) so I'm thinking DS2 would fit in those two for the longest-- till he's five I hope. DS1 outgrew his BV before 5 so I'm not even looking at any of the Britax seats. I think DS2 will be a lot taller and slightly thinner than DS1. I have a lot of males in my family who are 6'2-6'5 tall. I asked DS1 which seat was most comfortable and he liked the Radian best, so I think I'd go with the Radian xtsl if I go with one. I wish I could try DS1 out in the TFP to see how he fits in it (if he's outgrown it or not), but there's none around locally. Where do the TFP top slots measure in comparison to the Britax seats, Radian, and CA? And does the Radian have good rear-facing leg room? I know it's always brought up how the TF has awesome rf'ing legroom.
