Question Max harness/shoulder height for G3 Blvd?

FrauDrA · Nov 20, 2013

My youngest is in a G3 Boulevard, and I'm frustrated with the harness. What's the maximum height of the shoulder harness (or torso length) for this model? I feel like I can't get it up high enough for his shoulders (ie, to be at/above shoulder height), but he turned 4 just this month and is small for his age - I feel like it should fit.

I've just fiddled with the adjuster while he's at preschool, so I haven't been able to check the fit, but will report back later... I also need to re-measure him for height and torso.

When the headrest is fully extended, it will be ~4" higher than the actual seat shell. Make sure to fully loosen the harness before moving the headrest.

I've measured his seated shoulder height at about 34 cm (he was squirmy!), and his standing height is about 100 cm. It seems strange that the highest I can get the harness seems low for him... I have uninstalled the seat and made sure nothing was blocking the adjuster mechanism, etc.

Any ideas?

Something is wrong. It should be around 17". He is at about 13.5".

I just measured him again, using imperial, and yes his seated shoulder height came in at 13.5-14". I'm baffled. He's tiny for his age, and I'm anxious I've made measurement errors because it just doesn't make sense that a barely 4yo wouldn't have room to grow...

Are there any clinics coming up in Vancouver, or is anyone available to have a look?

There are a number of Vancouver-area techs on this list: http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=67767

My 5 year old only has a 14.5" torso & he has loads of room to grow!

I'm guessing that your harness is sticky & not allowing the head rest to come up.

Sometimes my splinter plate gets stuck when forward facing - I uninstall my seat, put it into recline so I can access the underside of the seat easier & make sure nothing is caught or catching. I would try to pull the harness all the way out in recline mode - as far as it can go - then try to adjust the harness height.

You should then be able to put it back into forward facing mode & adjust the harness like normal & the harness height if needed.

You should be able to see if anything is impeding it from adjusting - keep your hand on the harness from the back to feel if it gets caught

This is the top height of a blvd, pardon the fluff.
