So, my 6 year old is 42 inches tall and 42 pounds, last we checked. She has extremely short arms and legs, my best measurement of her torso was 17 inches floor to shoulder, but she has low muscle tone and tends to slump and it's nearly impossible to get her to sit up straight, so she could be 17 1/2 inches.
Her Boulevard expires in January.
She MUST be harnessed. She will likely never be safe in a lap only belt.
Most kids with her syndrome are very short, with long torsos, we have no reason to believe that she will be larger than your average 7 year old until after she turns 13, but her torso is quite long and most of her height gain comes from that.
I'm having a new baby in late December, and our old infant seat expired while Shiny was a baby, so we'll be getting a new one of those right before Shiny's seat expires.
I'm looking at the Frontier 85 and the Recaro ProSport, but am wondering if even those will be problematic given her torso length.
For the baby we're looking at the Evenflo Seranade, Graco Snugride 35 or Chicco Keyfit. None of my kids have been all that tall relative to width, so I'm leaning toward maximum weight.
These will be installed in a Dodge Grand Caravan, probably in the middle captain's seats, as I have mobility issues and so does my 6 year old, and I can't get my mind around putting her in back.
I also have an 18 year old, so I'm expecting she will ride in the 3rd row, climbing in over the installed infant base before the infant seat is dropped in place.
