My son is a skinny 3 year old so I'm not really up on what older kids actually weigh, so I was curious, and I looked up growth percentiles: 50 pounds is the 90th percentile for a 5 year old, and the 50th percentile for a 7 year old.
I definitely appreciate what they're trying to do in getting parents to use each function of the seat to the limit rather than moving to the next phase too soon as we so often see in 3-in-1 seats.... but I'm curious for those of you with older kids... how many of you have under 50 pound kids that have outgrown the Radian harness? Is that going to be the odd long torso'd skinny kid, or are we talking about a lot of first graders that are under 50 pounds but have outgrown the harness and are going to be stuck buying another seat?
