Since the top slots R so high on the Regent, is it possible for a light child who doesnt have a crazy long torso to use the Regent until they pass the 5 step test, bypassing a booster altogether?

R U sure? I havent seen it play out IRL yet, but a 20" torso on an adult isnt uncommon to my knowledge. My SSH is only 22" and Im almost 5'9".
Pretty sure. THey will at least need a backless. My 7 year old outgrew the regent by height at just before 6, the size of an 8 year old then. Still needs a booster. She is in a monterey right now. With the back still. This is why we are always looking for high back boosters to have at least 21 inch belt guides or taller.
Yes, I'm sure.
A Regent is not going to harness even a short torsoed child beyond 53ish inches.
At the very least, a backless booster will be needed for several years.
Ok, so you have rarities, which I think we may have established with other seats like the Marathon/Boulevard, too But overall, the chances of a child 5-stepping right out of the Regent are incredibly slim outside of the scenario I described above. (for example, my 5 year old five steps in the third row of our Freestar )
