I tried O in the nauti today...

Cryssy Jane · Oct 14, 2010

He's just even with the second to top harness slots. No pix since I was being quick in the target isle but I raised the headrest as high as possible and yep, just about dead even with the second to top slots... The kid's only 2 years 8 months.... YIKES! So he's have about 2-2.5 inches before reaching the top slot in the nauti and considering he's got about 2 inches before he outgrows the RN RF it seems bananas. I've seen much taller kids in these seats so why does he have such little growth room? I don't get it.

Seems like a dumb question for you but... are you sure you raised the headrest all the way?

Nothing in your post gives a real clue about his torso height for me- have you measured it?

Qarin · Oct 14, 2010

(and yeah, I know, you SAY you raised it all the way, so presumably you're sure, but are you sure sure?)

Cryssy Jane · Oct 14, 2010

Yeah. I nearly pulled it off because it wasn't clicked in all the way so I know it was all the way up. He's dead even with the second from top slots and has about a 15.5 inch torso. He was being a little wiggly today so I'm not 100% if it longer than that but it looked just a hair over 15.5. So he could potentially use the second to top slots for a sneeze then they'd go to the top. I tried it because he is ff in moms car and mom is considering a new seat.

Wow Jacob the 5.5 yr old is just about dead even with the next to the top slot.

I believe it. My DNe has been on the top slots -- yes, the TOP slots -- since he was three years old.

That's Katy too, 5.5 and just a hair under the second from the top slot when reclined. A little more room then that if I don't recline it.

He'd be over the second to top slot if reclined.

This was straight up and down. WOWZA. I was trying to suggest this to his mom, but I don't think he'll have that much growing room in it.

A's on the same slot. Don't ya just long torsoed kiddos

The FR85 has the highest harness slot at 20". The nauti and prosport are 18". You (and me) can always hope they'll slow down on the torso growth lol. A wears 4T tops and bottoms.

O's in 4T tops and 3T bottoms. He's a skinny little thing but I just want to put some bricks on his head to stop this whole growth thing. He'll stay RF in the XTSL for as long as possible (another 2 inches) but I think I see a FR 85 in our future. I might have to think of more options however because a FR 85 is WAYYYY out of mom's budget.

I tried O in the nauti today...
