My long-torsoed daughter outgrew the seat by the 1" rule before she was 36", so I didn't need to worry about making a parental decision. Based on my conversations with the rep, I would have used it beyond 36" if there was still room.
I actually prefer to have more than an inch of room (at least 2), but I used the Coccoro until DD had an inch specifically because I used the European routing because it would reduce downward rotation. In fact, when I didn't see mention of the 1" rule in the manual, I secretly hoped that meant you could use the seat even beyond 1" like a lot of European seats, but alas, no.
1". I don't even know the stated height, and I own and use a Coccoro. If she has more than 1" of shell her head will be contained and safe.

I wouldn't stop using a T35 at 32" if a child had four inches above their head. You probably have six months left. Nor would I stop using the Coccoro at 36" if Laine had more than 1" above her head.

My T35 manual has a bolded, all caps MUST in the section describing size limits - "child MUST be under 32 inches". I feel like if it weren't important they wouldn't have been so adament about it.

Wendy - as a parent, would you use the new graco convertible past the 40" rf limit?
