The Recaro manuals stating a RF height limit has me wondering about my BV- does anyone know if there is a RF height limit? My manual is in dh's car and I want to know before he comes home

Refer to your user’s guide and the labels affixed to the restraint for the appropriate height and weight ranges. Older restraints have a standing height limit of 30 inches rear-facing. As well, as required by Canadian regulations, there are height limits for restraints distributed in Canada. Newer restraints have no standing height for rear facing as infants grow at greatly varying rates; however, the child is too tall when the top of the head is even with the top of the shell.
Perfect, thanks. He has a lot of room to grow in the BV before his head will be even w/the top of the shell, and he's 33.5" tall. Not very much room in the Signo, though
I really really want a reason to buy a Signo for him, but if he can't RF as long as in the BV, I just can't justify it He's almost 2.5, 33.5" tall and 26lbs. His sisters are tiny, too (4.5yo is 29lbs, and 7yo is 39lbs) so we can get our money's worth out of our seats, but that's not nearly as much fun as buying new seats
Julie, would you really feel comfortable using the Signo for a child taller than 34" as long as his head was 1" below the top of the shell? If a CPST endorses it, I just might be able to be swayed
That will most likely be my daughter. At almost 3 years old, she's maybe 26.5 pounds, fully clothed, and 35-36" tall. I expect her to outgrow all her seats, RFing and then FFing, by height before weight.It would have to be one long, skinny child to outgrow the taller Britax seats rf by height. :twocents:
