I'm glad I got a Frontier when I had the money! I just got an XTSL in a trade and DD, 3y10m, has gained weight and is now 45lbs. She is a smidge over top slots, so I wouldn't be comfortable forward facing her (despite SK/Diono allowing it- I am just not comfortable with it).

So on to DD2 it goes. She was having issues being rear-facing so we put her in a Nauti temporarily while we sold off and traded her marathons. We'll try RFing round 2 in the XTSL. I hope hope hope she tolerates it!

My DS was about that size when he outgrew his Radian by going over the top slots too. He was 41" and 41 lbs when he turned 4 in November; he'd gone over the top slots of the Radian in August. So probably 40 - 41" overall height. Super long torso, short legs.

46 inches here for 5-year-old and a (tiny) bit of room left.

I think 16 torso.

My 5 year old (though tiny) 41-42 in tall ds has about a 1/2 inch of room until he's even with the top slots.

Gotta see pics of such a little one that's so tall!!

I'll see if I can get pics tomorrow before I put it in the car for DD2. The thing is she's not a giant or anything haha! Just all torso. I should probably measure her height too. My 22 month old is just over the third slots,b and she has been a lot smaller than my oldest. My 3yo was 36" at 15 months =O

doesn't KQ have a kiddo with a monster torso too? When did she outgrow it? Just curious, lol.

My 4.5yr (actually 4yrs and 3.5mo in pic) old is pretty much even with the top slots, but he was so miserable just sitting in it for pics, that I considered it outgrown as well. He is all of 42" and 40lbs. I have no clue how on earth they expect an 80lbs kid to fit in it.

ZOINKS! My giraffe girl- just turned 4 two weeks ago is 45 inches tall and about a 16 inch torso has a little less than an inch left before she is even with the top slots. And she's in the 99.7% for height! (She's FINALLY "on the charts" after being over 100% in height her entire life!)

Miley just turned 3 in July and she is even with the top slots of the radian. I had to splurge and cut back on other costs to get the the frontier85 because she is so tall. She is about a 1/2 head shorter than my 6, almost 7 year old.
