I have been lurking about for a bit, and I am shocked at the sizes of a lot of the kids in the posts. My son is no peanut, but it seems that for this board he's little. He is 6.5 years old. He weighs about 49 pounds fully clothed, and I think he's about 44 inches tall (he's boob high on me, and I'm 5'0"); he's all leg though. Length wise he needs a size 7 pants, but his torso is 15.5 inches. His shoulders are about 12 inches wide, and he has long arms.
I'm switching him to a Monterey in his dad's car soon. I have one for him in my mom's car, and he fits in it nicely. He even stayed in place, when he fell asleep. In my car he rides in a Frontier 80 harnessed. If he mentions wanting to ride in a booster, I'll switch it. He seems content for now, though, and he's not yet on the highest slot. I'm switching him to a booster in his dad's car because at his age and size there seems to be no benefit for harnessing over boostering or vice versa, and his dad is a loose belt offender. I don't want to have to keep after him about this any more. Lol. Currently, he is in a SK Radian 80 in his dad's car. I have ordered his booster, and it should be here shortly. I'm pretty excited, and I can't wait to play with it. I just needed to share with someone, and most of my irl friends just don't understand.
