I voted for the stated height limit, however I'm not a real stickler. If I have a 36" kid with 4 inches above her head in a Coccoro, I would consider that "at" the limit and not "above" the limit. I'm not going to measure her every day, but I'm going to move her to a different seat as soon as I know for sure that she's above 36". And depending on the age of the child, if I didn't have another seat available I might consider making a different choice, weighing the real risks of forward facing too young vs. the theoretical risks of ignoring a standing height limit when there's plenty of "room" for rear facing in the seat.
Ok 2 scenarios.
1. 2yo in a CCO. (Height limit is 36" I believe) She's 36 inches tall, 23lbs, and still has 4 inches above her head. She's all legs. (If these proportions are insane, forgive me, haven't had a 2yo in forever). Wwyd? New seat?
2. 6yo, 45lbs, 53 inches in a nautilus, using the harness. (Height limit for the harness is 52in). Still has one full harness slot left. Is it outgrown or not?
That would be one ridiculously short torsoed kid in the Nauti, no? My 7yo is 52in and her shoulders are quite a bit above the THS of a Frontier.
