How do shell/top harness heights compare with ETA, Momentum, My Ride?

I'm wondering how the top harness heights compare for these three seats? I'm looking to continue to RF my 33#/40" daughter and the Complete Air did not work for us and I don't think the Radian will fit in our vehicle. I tried a MyRide at the store (we don't have a BRU to try a Momentum) and she was already 1" from the top of the shell, so I know that would be too short for us, but maybe it would give me a point of reference to compare others to. Thanks in advance!

The ETA and Momentum will probably give you more room than the myride since they can be installed more upright

The momentum would be the tallest...I just did a test in the store before I decided on the Radian...
So this is the Momentum

This is the Britax Marathon 70

Here is her in the myride

And the True Fit

And the Radian (which we obviously bought)

All of your replies and photos are so helpful! Thank you! How long does the Momentum generally last for FF in real life experience?

I just happened to have installed mine FF for fun about a week ago. My 5 yr old still fits and my nearly 7 yr old is just a hair to tall for the harness, both have average torsos and kinda long legs(they still had good leg support too), stats in siggy. My 2 yr old (will be 3 in July) rides RF in it and has a lot of room to grow heightwise although he will be too heavy soon to RF. I tried my 5 yr old in it RF too and he fits height wise, he is just too heavy. HTH!

She is 35.5" tall with a 13.5" torso. She 2 1/2 years old and in a size 4T (some brands of 3T fit though but I wouldn't buy her 3T) shirts and size 2T pants. She is actually kind of short now (she used to be at the top of the growth chart but hasn't been growing as quickly lately)
