Can you measure yours for me? I'd like to know how tall it is, from the seating area to the shoulderbelt guide, on the highest setting. 
Thanks in advance!

You knooooooowwww...Jenny...I think it's shorter than the SRC... and... I might have a reason to get rid of my pretty paisley SRC someday....and I would love to see it go to a worthy home..... All's I'm sayin' is, you're tops on my list of new homes for it . I'll drag IT out and see what the tallest setting's shoulderbelt height is on my next foray out to the garage to mess with seats (I've been meaning to, anyway...)

Wow, thanks Julie! I was hoping to get Tiffany's backless SRC, but I would MUCH prefer the highback, and Pretty Paisley would knock Hayley's socks off! Her friend from kindergarten has a Pretty Paisley Bodyguard, and when Hayley saw her get dropped off in that she went CRAZY and insisted we talk to the girl and her mom about it. I ended up spending over an hour in the parking lot with the mom after the girls went to class.
Kat (on BBC) insists that the FPSV booster is taller than the SRC; that it's as tall as the Turbo. I had never heard that, and there's a poor confused lady on BBC trying to find a narrow booster for three-across in a Scion Xb. She's got two backless Turbos and needs a highback, IIRC. She tried a highback Turbo and it didn't work. I suggested a Parkway, but others suggested the FPSV. The person asking the question likes the Compass, but I told her it is NOT narrow and NOT good for three-across.

Oooh yeah, ditch the Turbos...way too wide... I don't know why Kat didn't believe me when I told her the SRC was taller, but oh well, it's almost impossible to find, so no biggie :shrug-shoulders: The FP is definitely as narrow as the SRC, and I almost would like to try a Monarch in a tight three across, the lapbelt path under the armrests is *really* narrow on the narrowest setting, and of course it can be used backless... Anyway... I digress.. I'll try to see how tall this thing is to make sure Hayley has loads of growing room (Bitsy has TONS of growing room, and I guess they are about the same size)

Yes, I think Bitsy and Hayley are similar in size.
I wouldn't let what Kat said bother me, except she's making it sound like the FPSV booster is wonderful because it's as tall as the Turbo--and I do not think this is the case. I'd like to find out for sure, anyway.
You think the Monarch's torso wings would work in three-across well? Those wings just seem so wide to me!

Here's what Kat said:
I am so confused!
But a narrow booster is definitely going to be needed, because I'm downsizing to a sedan again, hopefully a Taurus, and I'm HOPEFULLY going to be able to do the Husky in the center and fit a FPSV booster or SRC outboard for when I need to take one of Hayley's friends somewhere with us and not have to move Hayley outboard.

Angie, thank you! So the FPSV booster is definitely shorter than the TurboBooster and Compass B510.

Kat just will not believe me. She's got a FPSV booster and insists her boy who was too tall for a Turbo fits in the FPSV booster, and is supposed to take pics.

Ah hah, I understand...she thinks the standing height limits have *anything* to do with the back height! Um... nope... that 53 inch limit on the SRC is totally stupid (43 inch minimum limit, anyone following THAT IRL???). I could see maybe the FP and Turbo are similar, but the SRC is really taller (I took stroller pictures last night, I'll have to get to the booster pictures hopefully tonight, since cliff took everything out of the Escape...grr)Kat just will not believe me.

Chiming in late but just wanted to agree with Julie and say that the FP booster is MUCH shorter than the SR/C. I checked it out at BabyDepot recently because they had it on sale for $49 but I was really disappointed when I realized how short it was on it's tallest setting. I don't have my SR/C anymore but I owned one for years and got great use out of it. I have a picture of the SR/C being used in my old Taurus (on or close to it's highest height setting) but I can't access my old geocities page ATM. Jenny - I'll email you with a link when I'm able to access the page.

Thanks, Kecia! We're strongly leaning towards a Taurus right now, should be going to check out a few on Sunday, so that picture would be great!
