I couldn't decide if I wanted to order these as our distribution seats at the hospital so I went and played with it for a while with all my kids...and an extra ;-)

Ninja is 50lbs and about 49 inches tall. I had it set on the top slots, though he was still 1/2" below the next lowest. It wasn't too difficult to buckle him in, but he is by no means "husky". There was about 4" of harness adjuster strap left

The straps were very close together at his neck and bothered him a lot.

Next kid is 43lbs and 46 inches tall. Straps set at second from top slot. Plenty of harness length.

Rocket is 33lbs and 36inches tall. RF he'd be at the third from bottom slots. FF he's be at the third from top slots. Lots of growing room.

I brought my 4lb preemie Huggable Images doll. Please note...I am aware this seat has a 5 lb lower weight limit, but my next size doll is 8 lbs and I really wanted to know if it would fit a 5 lb baby. I think it would. This baby would have needed thicker blanket rolls along the side (the hospital blankets were all I had) and a rolled washcloth at the crotch, but I definitely was able to get the harness tight enough. It fact, it wasn't even as tight as it could go.

Then I ran into some grandparents who were baffled at what car seat to get their granddaughter. It was super convenient that I was still wearing my CPS shirt from the hospital, I helped them choose an appropriate seat for her.
