). Top harness height comparable to any other HWH convertible, need a tape measure for that, too. I'm working today, I'll see what I can get.

). But then there's this 'dropoff' for lack of a better term for the front of the seat where the knees bend, and it's got an extra three inches. So it's like 12 inches of seat pan, and if you hold out the tape measure well out to the front of the dropoff, it's like 15 inches (Triumph is more like 13 for that measure, and Britax was a sad, sad 10-11). It's probably useless as a booster, since it's booster belt path is longer than the long belt route on a Frontier (imagine trying to climb over that seat to buckle, or expecting a kid to try to do it, and how fast a switchable retractor would lock up even if it *could* reach!), so the model at Target that doesn't become a booster might be a better buy (the belt fit is good--the model I saw looked fine in it in the Tahoe she was in, in the front seat, which was the only belt long enough in that car, lol).Top harness was ~17.5, so typical for a HWH convertible.

I thought the leg room seemed incredible. I didn't measure but stuck my kid in and curled up his legs and he looked like a little king.

These both have pics of kids in installed seats so you can gauge legroom for yourself. The Target version has standard LATCH. Even with the recline feature, I still had to use a pool noodle to get the proper angle for the most reclined level-line. It was my sister's vehicle, don't remember the name (large GMC SUV, I think). I installed the same seat in my cousin's newer Camry, but for the more upright RF position, and it was fine without the noodle. Both my cousin and sister have had issues with the lack of harness covers leaving red marks, almost to the point of being a cut, on their babies' necks. My cousin's daughter also has massive thighs- like 11-months old wearing 24-month onesies just for the thighs to fit kind of massive- and the hip straps are leaving red marks on her legs. We asked our Target if we could take the demo model to try in my sister's vehicle, and they let us.
