My five-and-a-half-year-old DN rides in a Radian XT in my car, and the seat is typically used about once every two weeks (or so ). Due to a CRAZY-busy summer, I think he actually only rode in my car twice all summer, though.
At the beginning of the summer, DN was still able to RF in the Radian, but he rode in it FF at all times (except one brief trip in which he rode RF). He also had around 1.5" of room between his shoulders and the top harness slots.
To be honest, I don't remember how he fit in the Radian mid-summer, when he rode in it again.
Tonight, I put him in the Radian again and was SHOCKED to see that he is now getting VERY close to even with the top harness slots. That's around 1.5" of torso growth in two months! That can't be typical, can it?
It isn't typical to grow 1.5" of TORSO in only two months, correct?
What should I expect now? Will he likely grow legs now, and let his legs catch up with his torso?
Now I need to figure out what to do. I know he can use the Radian with his shoulders above the top slots, but I don't feel comfortable using it that way. I returned my Frontier 90, but I might need to buy another.
