(Thanks to whomever changed my title!)
My dd turned 4 in April and is 36-37 pounds (clothed), pretty average height, maybe a little short for her age but with a proportionally longer torso than legs, based on how she outgrows clothes. (I know if I don't say that you'll be wondering as you read the rest!)
Anyway, first the happy - in the past few days I have been worried that she'd outgrow her boulevard really soon and then I'd have to decide what to do. So I cranked the harness all the way up, sat her in it in the car, and checked the harness level compared to her shoulders. Oh happy day, it is about 1" above! So I think she'll probably fit in it another year or so, barring any odd torso growth spurts.
So, first random question - her other seat is a FPSVD. It's in the car that's in the shop so I can't see how far she is from the top slots. Are they the same as the BV, or maybe higher? I know the marathon top slots generally measure about 1/2" higher than the BV. (It's an older BV if that makes a difference, 33# RF limit.)
Second random question - assuming she makes it another year in her current seats, I will probably move her to full-time boostering when she does outgrow them. So when should I start booster training?
Third random question (really random, sorry!) - I just noticed TODAY that my Radian 80 (DOM 7/2008) has a sticker with a 33# RF weight limit listed. I thought for sure it was 35#. Anyone know when they switched? I know I could call SK, and I will tomorrow if no one knows! Couldn't call today because we were out of the house all day.
Thanks!
