No idea. Depends how she grows..

I do have an almost 19 mo in a SS1 (first gen big Graco infant seat, same size as SR32/35), and my oldest made it past 2.

But every child is different. Firefightermama (sp?) has a ds who outgrew it at something like 6mos.

Nour is so tiny that she would have still fit in her Safeseat 1, which I think is similar to the SR35, at nearly 2 years old!

My second son outgrew the Snugride 32 I had him in by height at like 18 months he still hasn't hit the weight limit though. My youngest is in a Snugride 35 which has the same height limit listed and looks like its shell is the same as the 32. My son is in the 50th percentile for height but has a short torso and long legs. So really I think it's gonna depend on your individual child. His little sister is six months old with her shoulders just barely even with the second set of slots and she really is just teeny tiny all around I expect her to be in this seat for a long while.

I would guess a long time, since she's just even with the bottom slots. A outgrew the ss1 by height right around 6 months, 90+% height and head. T lasted a lot longer, not sure when he would have outgrown it, he no longer fit height wise by 18 months. E (5.5 months) is just even with the third (top) slots when I put him in it, but he settles to between the second and third and has a couple of inches. I have no idea how long I plan to use it with him since I don't know what I want to replace it with.

Laine still fits by height and weight at 2.5 years old. She's probably getting close to outgrowing it, though.

My kid fit till about 19 months...she's tall and her height is in her legs... https://picasaweb.google.com/104971860341203318894/LeahInCarseats#5101172519647707202
A kid with a longer torso can outgrow it as young as 9-10 months, so it's extremely specific to the child in it (General rule of thumb, it seems to last as long as they are wearing about size 2t shirts... anyone else roughly find that to be true? Leah was in a 4t in that picture, but it was hanging down to mid-thigh, lol).

We just bought an SR35 for new babe & I tried my 3.5 year old DS in it lol - he's 30lbs & 40" but has a 13.5" torso & his head is dead even with the top of the shell .... His shoulders were even with the top harness slot but it was too tight to buckle lol ...3 months ago before this major height spurt he likely would have fit :)
