I'm not sure if I'm looking for advice or to ease my mind, but either way, thank you for indulging me.
I weighed DD today right after we got home. I was just doing a general check to make sure we weren't nearing the rear facing height or weight limits of our seats. Therefore, I weighed her as we walked in the door, while still in what she'd been wearing in the seat (pants, shirt, fleece jacket, socks, ballet flats, and slightly wet diaper) to get a total weight. According to my scale, she weighed 33 pounds. And then I started thinking, what if she had heavier shoes on or a dirtier diaper or had just eaten a big meal and not dirtied her diaper for a while and I'm getting nervous about her outgrowing her 35 pound limit seat too soon. I know, I tend to get nervous about these things, sometimes prematurely, so I'd really appreciate feedback. I think I'm mostly nervous about whether she could outgrow it before we notice and would prefer to have time to figure out our next step. Or if she's holding a cup of water, that doesn't count towards the weight, right? Thank you!!!
For anyone wanting details, she is 2.5 yo and has two seats, a new generation Britax and a classic. So the new gen has the 40 pound weight limit, but shorter height, while the classic has more height, but 35 pound limit.
