My 3.5yo is at the top slot of the RA55 FF

Know this is a short seat but I was really surprised when I sat Colton in it this morning. I had to double check because I thought he was over but the cover wasn't lined up with the slots. He is right at with NO room to grow. Any others with a kid outgrowing the Next Gen seats at 3.5?

Sorry I don't have a pic.

I think he would have more room in the others. I think the RA has a slightly lower top slot than the rest of them.

I think the BLVD70 and MA70 are an inch taller than the RA55.

DD is on the top slots FF in the RA55. She's got the better part of an inch left but still I doubt she'd make it to 5yrs in it, maybe 4.5.

I didn't know that. I guess I just assumed they were the same because the shells are the same. I guess it's different on the others because of the no rethread harness. Good to know!

My just-turned-3yo niece is about 1 inch from the top slots in her MA70. I'm sure she's outgrown the RA55. She's FF.

RA55 top slot is 16 in and the MA70 and BLVD70 are at 17.

I need to measure his torso. I measured about 6 mos ago and it was 14". He's had quite a growth spurt!

DD2 outgrew it rearfacing about 6 weeks before she turned 3. It already had a new home, but I felt the need to install it FFing and try her in it. I don't remember if she was right at or above, but she had either outgrown it or had not growing room at not quite 3.

I haven't sat Austin in it in awhile, but he was pretty much even with top slots of the blvd70 last time I did. He's just 3.5 now. He only has three clicks to go in the fr85.

DD2 has a RA55. I sat DS in it right when he turned 4 and he was already over the top slots. DD2 will probably fit for longer but with baby #4 on the way I know we will definitely get plenty of use out of it. I love it.

Im considering this seat :eek: Does anyone happen to have pictures?


This was Gavin in the RA55 at 20mo. He would have needed the top slots if he were FF then. He is 32mo now. I really need to get this seat out and see where he's at on it now. Probably very very close to the top slots I would assume.
