Okay, about a month ago I calculated that DD would make to close to 5 RF in her MR. She's a 50/50 kid for height/weight and has been since she was about 1 so I figured she'd stay on the same scale. She was 36.6# with light clothing on X-mas day. I measured her today, she's grown a teensy bit in height. But her weight is 39.2# with having eaten, leggings, spaghetti strapped dress, socks, fleece jacket, light shoes. We always take her winter boots off, but highly likely she could be wearing heavier clothing like an extra sweater, mittens, heavier pants, so could easily be 39.5#.
So, I thought I'd have until August or September, and was planning on doing some booster training starting July. I do NOT feel comfortable with her in a booster at this point. I wanted her RF still.
Do I need to get something now and keep it on hand for when she needs to be flipped? or does she need to be flipped now?
A Radian is not an option because it installs like butt in our vehicle and I don't actually trust the seat for my own reasons. I'd have to import something to RF longer, which might be kind of cool...In almost 14 years, the cops have stopped us twice I think and have never even looked at our seats, so doubtful they would ever notice...
Oh, she is 4 years, 5 months.
