I don't know, it's hard to tell from a picture but it looks like you might have a smidge more room.

Yeah, without seeing it in person it's hard to be accurate when it's that close. And the boulevard is always hard even in person. I'd put a ruler on top of her head, best way to tell IMO.

Thanks. That'll give me enough time to get a pretty cover maybe for Evan's Radian XT. They'll switch seats for a while since I have a 'boy' cover for the BV. Then in April maybe he'll move to the GN.

The only way I can tell accurately with the BV is to move the headrest up so that it is exactly even with the top of the shell and then put the kiddo in. That way you are not trying to look past the headrest to the shell and screwing with your depth perception.

Um. I was going to say I see about 2" of total clearance to top, but am I missing some sort of subtle jab here? :confused:

I don't think it was a jab, I think it was a joke ;) At least it made me LOL. You're always good about telling people there's loads of room when posters think it's outgrown.

I took it as a complimentary joke :) Shes good at telling how much time/room left!

I tried to make it even like you would be measuring so more at an angle. Bad idea? Maybe we'll just go to Target tomorrow and sit in a MA. :)

I'm with maedze... I think there's 2" above her head... so 1" left to go... see, the headrest looks like it's a good 1" below the top of the shell, and then her head (not her pony holder) looks about another 1" below that... so 2" below the shell is where her head is.

Yep, I see room. A pic frfom further away, to get a better idea of the angle of the seat itself (its hard to approximate a perpendicular line when I don't have a good idea of the angle of the seat) and movingthe headrest to level, as SIOTC said, would help me be able to judge better, but I'm seeing a good half inch, maybe more

Here's what I see. At least 2". Maybe more.

I'll delete the photo from my hard-drive once you've seen it :)
