DD rode in the TB today, highest height. It's slightly leaning, the belt is in the higher side. The lapbelt is on snug, but couldn't get it lower on her hips, this seat fits my friends small 5yr old much better.

Wow, I can't believe she has gotten so big! DS isn't growing as much, he still fits in the Marathon. Last week when we flew he could have been in the second from top slots since the seat was so upright on the plane. I'm going to have to tell him he needs to catch up with R!

I can't believe she's that big, she doesn't look that big. I can't believe she basically outgrown it and hasn't really used it.

I tried a 10 yr old in a backless TB and didn't really like the lap belt fit. It on her legs but she seemed squished and it was hard to pull the belt tight. It seemed stuck between her legs and the armrests.

My two cents: she still has quite awhile left in the TB. When she puts her arms up and over the torso wings, naturally her shoulders raise up a couple of inches, and makes it look like she's near outgrowing it. When she sits with her arms at her sides, she has a lot of room left. How is she fitting her Regent? My dd outgrew the Regent by height before she outgrew the Turbo by height.

My daughter's about the same size (50.5" and 62# as of yesterday) and she fits similarly in the Turbo. She complains that she feels squished. As a tech, I consider it an acceptable fit. As a mama, I'm glad that I have other boosters.

HEVY · Sep 26, 2010

It's an acceptable fit, I just expected it to last a long time, or rather I didn't expect her second time using it to be on the top slot

But I'm not really liking the lapbelt, it should be lower, right?

She still fits in the Regent, but it's on the top slot and she's close to it, SBP recline bar, but the pre advisory she fits better, top slot but she is just over the second to top, LBP no recline, used more, older, foam a bit condensed. She's about even with he FR85's second from top.

Can't those extra pads in the head and back be removed? And are the armrests in the lower or higher slots?
I can't believe she looks so snug in it, either. Wouldn't it be nice if they were allowed to give 'suggested' weights and heights? Some boosters are so clearly suited to bigger (Frontier, for example) or smaller kids (Turbo, Vivo), yet they all have these huge weight ranges listed :/.

HEVY · Sep 27, 2010

She's not uncomfortable with the snugness. The arm rests are on the top slot, I couldn't even use it in the lower one. Yeah, I think the TB is geared for little kids, or really, really skinny ones.
