RF height limit of BV65/MA65?

Chila88 · Oct 11, 2010

My old BV has a 32" height limit for RF. Has Britax addressed this issue with their new generation of seats? Are they recommending use of the 1" rule in Canada now as well? Or is there still a rf height limit on their seats?

And to answer my own question....I pit stopped at a store today and the new seats follow the 1" rule (one inch of shell left around baby's head). Thank goodness the 32" height limit is gone....

Yes, it's gone on all the new models. Additionally, the old advocate, as well as the RA55 never had the 32" limit. :thumbsup:

When we were buying a new car seat this weekend I had meant to check that. But I ended up pulling my daughter out of it while shaking my head and then forgot to check the manual! Glad you got your answer.

Shaking your head??? Oh no, were you that disgusted by them?

Your radian cover alone makes me want a Radian....but I drive a Sienna so I have a deep imbeded fear of Radian's!!!

Ok so is it 1" of room from the shell or head rest???

I meant to ask this for a lady I did a seat check for this weekend.

Shell, not adjustable head rest.

just extremely disappointed. We went in there to buy a TFP, but when DDs dad saw the cover on the new MA he gave me the go ahead to get that seat if I wanted it. So we put DD in it and were just shocked at the fact that she pretty much had zero growing room. She still has some growing room in the MA we already own so it really surprised us. Then we walked over and put her into the TFP and she was on the second harness slot from the bottom with tons of room above her head I knew we couldn't buy the Britax. Now if the headrest counted into the shell height there would have been no question, it would have come home with us.

The manual shows exactly how to measure the 1" too. :thumbsup:
