seated height weirdness

From the Carseat measurement charts:

Evenflo Titan seated height: 23 inches
Evenflo Triumph Advance: 23.5 inches

Sofi's seated height (as measured by me, 2 weeks ago, with her legs crossed) 21 inches.

She has 2-3 inches above her head in the EFTA (line is level to ground, but seatback isn't 45*). She sat in LittleS' Titan today and her head was even with the top of the shell (and the seat was more upright than 45*).

Now, figure that one out :confused:

Different shaped seats will force kids to sit in different postures and affect the way they fit different seats.

yep.
ALSO..with the titan in particular, you have to be very careful of the covers. I've noticed the bottom butt portion of someof the covers is really, REALLY tight, so tight that it's literally taut, to the point where a child sitting in it is actually being suspended above the shell. Once the cover gets broken in, or has a heavier child sitting in it for a while, it loosens up, and sinks down, and you gain quite a bit of height. weird, but true.
