Does this happen to anyone else?

On a day to day basis, my son (ff in a frontier 85) seems to fluctuate between having less than 1/2 left in the harness to a lil more than an inch. He wears uniforms to school so it's not related to clothing differences. Makes it hard to predict when he'll outgrow it

My 4 yr old slouches. So sometimes I think I need to move his 85 up, and other times it looks perfect. He's always been a noodle, lol. It took my awhile to figure out what was going on though.

Don't worry about it until he's obviously over the harness slot. Being a tiny bit over when he sits up straight, but under when he settles in, means that he's not going to have his spine damaged by compression in a crash. IOW, it's fine. If he's fluctuating between 1/2 to 1 inch of space left, it sounds like you have at least 6 months, probably more.
