Thanks! I know how she's supposed to look in her car seat, but not sure about the booster. Her head is even with the top of the headrest or a tad below it, although it looks the opposite in the picture.

The lap belt is good, though the headrest might come up a bit.

Her head can go over the top of the shell. Forward facing it's the tops of her ears that cannot go above the headrest in its highest position.

she looks great!

she might do fine with the headrest up one more notch, but it's not necessary yet (though it will be as soon as she grows an inch of torso height... Recaro requires the guide be above the shoulder.. not just at it)

Thank you! She did super. :D She used it yesterday and today for shorter drives (<15 minutes). We talked about how she has to sit and why, etc. Not going to use it for longer drives yet because her legs get tired and she likes to criss cross them in her seat, so I think she'll be more comfy in her TF for now on long drives or when I know she's really tired.

Not sure I'm ready for this, but it was hard for me when she turned ff, too.

Thanks for checking her fit. I will be sure the belt guide is over her shoulder, not at it. I am almost certain it currently is, but may not be for long if she has a growth spurt. :)

oh I can tell it is... just wanted to make sure you didn't have another thing to scratch your head about... lol

(yep, I'm one of those peoples that reads manuals and re-reads and checks every little detail till I practically memorize the whole thing... with boosters, some have rules about how much space should be between the shoulder guide, others don't, so that's where my brain focuses)
