Have to turn my guy FF

I (thank goodness) just weighed my son fully clothed and with shoes, and he is 34.8 lbs. His radian only goes to 35 lbs RF.
I am kicking myself for selling my daughter's flora radian xtsl that RF'd to 45 lbs (originally bought the radian 65 for her, passed it to my son when I bought her the flora xtsl).

Would you try squeezing him into a myride? He's 40" tall and basically 35 lbs fully clothed and with shoes. Is it worth seeing if he'll fit? We have a myride for C, who is only 27 lbs and could just use the radian.
He's 3 yrs, 6 months.
I am not ready to have 2 FF kids!

It can't hurt to try. I have my nanny girl who's about the same age rf in a myride. She has a few inches and a several lbs of growing room.

I am thinking no.
His bottom is all the way at the bottom, and the back of his head is resting against the seat.

Does he have any room at all, or is the seat outgrown by height?

To me, It looks like no. But I am not an expert. his head is tilted forward rather than laying back against the seat which makes it easier to see for me.. a novice.

What is the rule on this seat? 1 inch? Or is there a height limit?

I would ff him. If not now it does not look like it would be long anyway.

I don't think he has any room. If he has any, it is just barely any. I would turn him & top tether his seat.

I would be fine with him FF at his age. You have done great with RF him for as long as you have. But he will be safe in a properly used, properly installed FF seat. :)

He is definitely right there. You made it past 3 though which is great. I would turn him unless you could pass another higher height/weight seat to the next child...

Well if you harness him it'll squish him down a few mm...
Nope, I think you need to turn him. You'll be ok ;)
