Quick! Which convertibles have the highest top slots?

Higher than the current Britax seats?

Off the top of my head I can think of the TF/TFP, Radian, and CA. What about the Evenflo seats? I have no idea which ones have the highest slots. I'm trying to send a list to my friend who has a 9 month old. Thanks.

Complete Air, Radian, Recaros, TF, EFTA/Symphony (and I assume the Momentum), 50 lb 3-in-1 seats, and then the MyRide and Britax seats.

Basically, nearly all HWH seats.

I'd be easier to list out the HWH that DON'T (Titan Elite, and um, um, ... ... and the 40 pound seats. hehe).

I meant the absolute highest though-- aren't the TF/Radian/CA top slots higher than the MR and Britax seats? DS1 is almost 7 and average size and his shoulders are about even or just a smidge above the TF/RA/CA slots, but he outgrew his Britax seats 2 years ago and is way too big for the MR too. Are the Evenflo seats (EFTA65? and Momentum's) slots as high as the TF/Radian/CA slots? If you want to keep your kid harnessed a long time, a TF/Radian/CA would most likely be the only harnessed seat you'd need to buy before going to a booster, but not if you buy a Britax convertible or MR, correct?

As long as your kids don't have humongous torsos and at the top of the growth charts

The thing with the britax seats and the myride is that they install very reclined when ff. IF you can get a britax more upright, you can gain more ff height. I was able to gain 4 months for my extremely long torsoed dd (who outgrew the decathlon ff at 3.25 years...)

I wanted to add, that even the bigger britax seats and the myride will last the "average" child to age 5 or so, so that would be booster age for a lot of parents.

Here is some of the seats and their highest harness height.

Evenflo Symphony-17in.
Evenflo Triumph Advance-16.5-17in.
Evenflo Titan-14-14.5in.
Graco Myride65-17in.
Complete Air-17in.
True Fit-17in.
Radian XTSL-17in.

Just to give you an idea. My 5yr.old, 45in. tall son can still RF in the Radian but none of the other seats listed.
