DD11yrs is 5'1.5" tall, weighs 82 lbs and has a 21 inch tall torso. She outgrew the Husky top slot only last December.
DS7yrs (will be 8 in 4 weeks) is 4'3" tall, his weight fluctuates between 44-52 lbs (he has an eating disorder) ans his torso is 17 inches. He is just even with the top slots of the MA but has about an inch and a half left until he hits the top slots of the Radian, and about 3 inches until the top slots of the Husky.
DD5yrs is 47 inches tall, weighs 58 lbs and has a 16.5 inch tall torso. She has about a half inch left until she is even with the top slots of the MA (but we are moving her out of it because the buckle strap is shorter than the tops of her legs and she gets pinched and it is a fight to get it buckled because the sides of the seat keep her from moving her legs out of the way) She is just even with the second to top slots of the Radian, and could use the second to top slots on the Husky for quite a while yet.
So my question is how do these kids who are average height still fit in the carseats other peoples average height kids seem to outgrow so much sooner. Everybody else's kids seem to get to tall for the MA at around 6. My youngest two even fit the Graco 20lb, Snug Ride for a whole year, and the FPSEi for almost two years.
I'm not complaining that my kids still fit or anything I'm just baffled at how this is possible.
