How much time would be left?

I got one of the $50 ra50 yesterday for a spare. Austin has already reached the 35lb limit :( I weighed him last night right at 35lbs. If he hadn't reached the weight limit first, how much longer does it look like he has? I'm debating if I should try to sell it for profit to get another 40lb rfing seat since that would be helpful. However, I can use the ra50 with all three of my kiddos that I'll be watching, just only rfing with my niece.. and of course the bean when his torso gets long enough.

Hard to tell from that angle. You want to check at the top of his head, perpendicular to the seat. My guess is maybe another six months or a year?

It's probably going to be hard to guess that. However, it would help if you could tell me what his height was at 12m, and/or 15m (just to get a growth pattern).

Can you measure the clearance over his head? Looks like 2.5" - 3" but I'm not sure b/c it's hard to tell where the carseat stops and where your front seat head rest begins (b/c they are both dark in color).


Looks like your DS will be two on 6/30. Therefore, I would definitely get another Rfing seat like the RN since he is already 35# (your siggy says he is Rfing in a MR so I assume you are talking about selling the RA to get another one).

He wasn't being the most coperative today. He will be two on the 30th. He's 37.5" and 35lbs. At eighteen months he was 34" and 31lbs, he's always been above the 90th%. He's even with the third slots. I should have taken his pic in the MR too, but didn't think about it.
Here's a couple more.
