Need a taller seat

DS1 wants to go back into his Frontier 85 but he's just about too tall for it harnessed. What now:(?

A booster :) The Frontier has the tallest top slots, must be one long torsoed boy!

I know it has the tallest slots:(. I hate not being able to give him another option! He's 96% for height. He's in an oobr but doesn't love it.

Maybe get an SG clip for the Frontier for booster mode so it feels more like harnessed mode for him?

Just measured his torso.. He's 18". So frustrating that when the seat is installed we don't get nearly that height.

I have an SG clip from our PW. He's not really fond of it but I guess I could try it. I assume I can take it off of that seat and use it on this one.

There's the 86-Y.

Can you try another seating position? See if you get more room?

I had our FR85 in the captain's chair for a while and we got BARELY 19.75" out of it- Bridget was AT the top slots there. Moved it back in the third row again, it's back up to giving us almost the full 20.5". We gained almost a full 3/4" putting it back in the back row rather than a captain's chair.
