I just grabbed a Britax Diplomat from my sister as her little girl is outgrowing it RF and moving on to a Radian. It's DOM is 6/09 so I was going to try and use it for squishie due in May to get another year out of it. She's a trusted source and I know I will have no worries about the seat as a hand-me-down.
I didn't even look at the measurements before I grabbed it from her because she was going to toss it and I wanted to use it as a spare for Grammy's car. I was taking it apart to clean and noticed the bottom harness slots seem pretty high for such a small seat! Just checked the measurements site and sure enough the bottom slots are 10 inches (way higher than my MA70 @ 8.75) despite it's 5 lb minimum.
So it looks like this is in line with the Marathon 65/Classics, Boulevard 65 and Roundabout 40. When can I expect an above average kiddo (using trends from my 3yo) to fit? I can use the Keyfit baseless in her car for the first couple months if need be, it's just that installations are not her forte so I'm hoping to use this seat asap.
TIA!
