I weighed my kids yesterday because I wanted to make sure DD hadn't had a huge weight gain (last I checked she was around 36lbs). I needed to rearrange carseats for the weekend and wanted her to ride in the Uptown. She's 38lb, and she's even with the top harness slots. I guess this will be her last rides in the Uptown (DS usually uses it RF). And since DD was standing on the scale DS wanted to also and he's 28lb He was 25-26lb last time he stood on the scale (and he likes to check his 'number' I don't remember how long it's been though). So I'm thinking he might be FF around the same time DD did, not long after he turns 3 - DD was also 28lb when she turned 3 and had a 3lb gain shortly after. Since we have 33lb RF Marathons and the kids sneak in a couple extra lbs without me noticing I don't like to push it.
No real point other than my surprise at both of their weight gains. I guess it shouldn't surprise me, they've both grown about 1 1/2" over the summer too. Now I'm wondering if I should look at a combo seat for DS once he's FF though, the MA's are so reclined in my SUV when FF. Hmmmm, it's been over a year since I bought a carseat....
