DS is 13 months, 31" and 27lbs and currently rear-facing in a diono radian r100 with the angle adjuster.
While reading through the manual I noticed that on page 35 it states: "Warning: ONLY use top three shoulder harness positions for forward-facing child."
Rear facing the harness should be at or below the shoulders.
I did not remember the warning the last time we adjusted him, he is currently on the bottom of the top 3 that are only to be used forward facing. (Both kids have long torsos.
Last week I threaded the harness back down to the next lowest (highest for RF) but now its 3-3.5 inches below his shoulders. He's a good car baby and has screamed for the entire trip each of the 10-11 times we've been in the car since. Even with the harness tightened properly, not too tight not too loose.
He's in 2t/3t clothes, about the size my older DC was when they were 2 years old. So size wise he is at the suggested 2 year RF minimum but he is only 13mo.
Do we flip him forward? Deal with the screaming for the next 11 months? Move him back to the next highest harness slot even though we're not supposed to use that one RF?
