Sometimes you seem to gain height, too, with some seats.

Ironically, when I try this in my own recliner, I GAIN space rather than losing it, which is the opposite of what seems to happen with car seats.
So yeah, I go with the "mysteries of life" explanation and try not to think about it too much.

It's magical.
No, I really don't know. Sometimes you lose height, sometimes you gain. I guess it depends on the angle of your (vehicle) seat vs. the angle of the car seat.
I just sum it up to ... it's magical.
I had to install my Gn in my mom's edge last night and I was just all in a quandry about it.. I think I popped a vessel thinking about it.. I like " Its magical..."
That is interesting. Didn't know you could gain.. now I will try and pay attention as I install in other cars too..
This stuff is really cool. You just do not realize all there is to it until you really get into it. I am completely addicted.

Yep. Ever hear us mention, "Well the Radian (or True Fit, etc) has top slots that measure XYZ, but my kid seems to have more room in the Radian than in the (Insert seat with lower measured harness height" ? Yeah, that's what we're talking about. It depends on the (car) seat, and the (vehicle) seat. Sometimes you gain, sometimes you lose! When you gain, it's like the lottery ...

And it's why harness height and torso height aren't always exact sciences. Say a convertible (which tends to have more FF recline) and a combo seat (which tends to be more upright) both have harness heights of 18". A kid is likely to outgrow the first seat before the second.

(dd outgrew it at 3.25, would have been 3 if I hadn't tried to push the base back further in the seat).You must read your carseat and vehicle owner’s manual and understand any relevant state laws.
