How can a newborn ever fit in a MA?

I just moved my 1 year-old to my DD1's MA and she is STILL On the bottom slot. I have no idea how this seat would ever fit a newborn!

Well you'd have to have a newb with a super long torso like my ds3 did.;)



ETA: Here's a couple pics in an RA50 and a Classic MA.

I am assuming this is a classic MA? Yeah they don't fit newborns at all. Most kids are 6-9 mos before they fit. Some older. I think the bottom slots are 9"?

Ah, okay! I didn't get the seat until my dd1 was over 1 and she is a longer torso girl. My dd2 must have a short torso because, at 1 year, she still had another slot to go on her SR35 and is nowhere near the next slot on the Marathon. Fine by me!
 
The classic MA bottom slots are 10.5in. The MA70 is 9in. My 22mo ds *just* moved to the 2nd slots of his classic MA! He didn't fit the MA till 13mo, barely.

My daughter fit the classic BV at six weeks. She might have fit before then, too, but I didn't try until then. She had a very long torso, though, and cloth diapers.
