How long does she have??

Sam_NE · Apr 27, 2011

Yes I'm new here.

I had Pumpkin and Miss Thing today. They left Pumpkin's seat with her today, so I played with it. I want your guys opinion as to how much longer you think she will be able to rear face in it. And if flipped how long till it's outgrown??

Cosco Scenera, Pumpkin 16months

RF
In the house

In the car

The rest are all in the house
FF

Just for fun I tried Miss Thing. Could she use this seat in a pinch??

Pumpkin has oodles of room rear facing, several years depending on her weight. And Miss Thing would probably loose that little bit of harness height when it's installed, so she would probably have outgrown it.

1. a long time.
2. An even longer time.
3. Yes, it appears she can ride in the seat, but check while installed to make sure.

Rear facing it's outgrown when there's less than an inch of shell above the head perpendicularly. Forward facing when the shoulders are above the top slots or the tops of the ears (not the head) are above the top of the shell. And of course the weight limits.

My eyes are tired, but is there another slot above Miss Thing's shoulder? If so, there's room in the seat. Pumpkin has six inches above her head, so probably two to three years by height.

No that is a strand of her hair that i forgot to push out of the way. Pumpkin is FF, and Miss Thing is in a NBB in their parents cars. But I flip Pumpkin RF, and Miss Thing is harnessed in my van.

Pumpkin's straps need to go down a notch. They should be at or below the shoulders for Rear Facing.
