I just bought a RA55 for my youngest, so I took some pics of both kids in all our convertible seats to compare how much room they have to grow.

Also, I took some pics of the recline on the new Britax seats since a lot of people seem to be having issues with it:

Just pull and it easily reclines:

7 month old son, 20lbs and 29inches:

He had 8 inches above his head.

4 year old son, 35lbs and 37inches:

He had 3 inches above his head.

Here is my 7 month old in the CA on the lowest slot and highest slot:

And here he is in his current seat (that is being replaced with the RA55):

Here is my 4 year old in his regular seat:

I never realized just how tall the CA was until I took these pics!
In the RN 80SL:

I'm really happy with the RA55 and my oldest thought it was really comfy. He said the material was "very cozy!" ;) So anyway, does anyone want any particular measurements?


eta: Are these pics showing up HUGE for anyone?

I guess at this point I would maybe like to see a MyRide 65 next to a new Britax seat. I just can't 'get' how small or big or whatever these new seats are. I'll probably have to wait another few weeks to a month before they make it up here. Curiosity is getting to me.

Thank you for sharing this! My DD is about 37" too! :)

Cute, happy kids! I'm amazed by how cooperative they are about trying the seats.
