I am just wondering how DD compares to kids her age since knowing how she fits in seats helps me suggest seats for others. Her torso just hit 14" and she is even with the top slots of the Scenera which is 14.75". My car tends to recline FFing seats a good bit.

ETA: She is 37" overall height..oops that info is in my siggy lol

My 3yo has a 16+ in torso. He's on the top slot of the RN FF (2nd to top RF).

Ds was just under 15, since he could fit in the AOE barely.
DD was ... um. about 17. She was ginormous though.

I'm pretty sure Sofi was on the 2nd to top slots on the Nautilus at 4.5yr. So she must have been around 15in

My niece is 4.5... I don't know her measurements but she's just a hair below the second from the top slot of the Nautilus. She's pretty tall for her age. At 26 months, she was on the top slot of the Scenera with a little room to grow.

My 4.5 yo has 15.5" torso. His overall height in my sig is from his 4 th bday. He has about an inch to go in the bv70. It's on the top setting in upright mode on a fairly flat vehicle seat. He's on the top slot in radian but has lots of growing room and obviously has lots of room left in fr85.

Edit, oops, I thought his stats were in my sig. He was 42-43" at 4th bday.

I haven't measured ds recently, but he's about even with the 2nd-to-top slots of the RXT. I'm dreading him growing AT ALL, b/c then I have to take the seat out (he's also almost 40 lbs--so I also have to switch to a seatbelt install and take off the SafeStop--yes, I'm keeping track of his weight and making sure he doesn't go over the harness slots ;) ).

At 4.5 my youngest outgrew the Regent by harness height. He is huge though. Like the same height standing as the 9 year old boys in the neighborhood. He is taller than they are when they are all sitting.

My 4.5yo is 44" with a 16" torso. This time last year he was 42" with a 14.5" torso. He went thru a nice growth spurt!

DS1 is 4y 9m....he's 33lbs & 38" & his torso is 14.5" - he's on the 3rd from top harness of his MA & still fits in a Scenera with room to grow ....he technically still fits RF in his MA too :D

See this is what sucks about the recline of the seats in my car. In the house DD has plenty of growing room..in my car she has none, in my exes car she has a tiny amount.
