and monterey last month

3 years old (January), 38 inches, 35-6 pounds dressed, 15ish inch torso.

disclaimer: The pictures below do not show best practice, as this child should still be harnessed as he is not 40 pounds and 4 years old at a minimum. In fact, he is still rear facing in a radian xtsl;)

18 months, 32 inches, 28? pounds dressed, 13 inch torso, does not fit. SHoulder belt too high and close to neck.

Disclaimer: The photos below show misuse, as this child is not at the minimum for the booster (3 years old and 30 pounds), nor is he at the recommended minimum by techs (4 years, 40 pounds). He is rear-facing in a boulevard, as is recommended for children his age;)

Something I want to point out. It seems like my average 3 year old would actually be "okay" in the monterey. If he didn't move, and he didn't have so much room around him:whistle: My kids tend to have broader squared shoulders.

Its kinda scary how the turbo wasn't that much too big for your 18 month old! I know the belt isn't positioned correctly and its not safe and all, but it looks like if it was a little taller he'd fit in it fine. Yikes!

what position are the wings in for your 7yo? all the way widened, all the way in or somehwere inbetween?

I am pretty sure I have them all the way out for her. As you could see, she can't fit in the turbo, and the parkway is a tight fit (old style).
