I was reading another thread and read that there is a seated height limit of 22.5 for the Recaro convertibles. I have read the manuals over and over and never realized that. But it's in there right with the 1" rule. Must've not paid enough attention.
It makes ZERO sense. It also says that the child's head must be 1" or lower from the top of the shell. Well if the seated height of the car seat is 25" and the child must not exceed 22.5 inches of seated height then there is no way any kid will ever be at that 1" mark.
That's a whole 1.5" lost. And for ERF that's a lot!!
DD2 rides in a Proride and I measured her today after finally realizing the silly 22.5" limit. She's at 20" (well aprox., she's 2 and sitting still to get measured was an issue). So yeah 2.5 more inches. So plenty of room but really? She's just about 2 I was hoping this seat would last until at least 4 for her but now I'm not sure.
I'm just irritated. Off to email Recaro and get a probably non answer.
