My model is 3 years 5 months, I checked his stats this morning: 32 pounds, 39" with a 14" torso. He's my long-legged monster.
First, the Essential Air, adjusted to the top slot:
Compare to the Argos - I didn't have a tape measure, but there was WAY more room than the Essential Air:
Target has the True Fit Recline, YAY!
I the True Fit. If I had any reason to need another convertible, I would totally buy this one. The fabric is silky but super soft, I really liked it. I think it was $199 though.
The Chart Air:
There is another harness slot, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to thread it. It's under the headrest, but that was as high as I could make the headrest adjust. It has an info flap connected behind it, so I'm not sure if it was held up by that or if that's really how the top slots are supposed to be. I flipped through the manual but Sam kept running out of the aisle so I didn't have time to figure out how it's actually supposed to work.
The CoscoApartment APT:
I don't have a current picture of Sam in my Scenera, but he has at least a good inch more of growing room to the top harness slots in the Scenera than he did in the Apt. I'm not sure if he would gain more room once it installed, but I was really surprised at the significant difference. He has almost outgrown it completely, even with his tiny torso. The Apt was $54.99 and I was disappointed to see that the Scenera isn't even on the shelf at Target anymore. I did think it was great that there was a really well-worded tag on the Apt ( you can see it on his shoulder there) about RF to the max, go Dorel on that one!
If anyone is curious to compare, I snapped a pic of him in his regular seat when we got outside:
