My son is 5.5 and we are excited to to leave the carseat at home for an upcoming plane trip, and use the RSTV we just got! It's Version 2, small. Unfortunately I don't have very current stats on him, but he's probably 47 lbs or so. And he's always been in about the 95th percentile for height, so is probably 47-48" tall. He carries most of his height in his legs and seems to have an average to short torso.
The way his knees interact with the edge of the vehicle seat cushion tends to pull him into a slouch, so I suggested that he try sitting cross-legged. What do you all think about that?
The lap belt wanted to bunch up against the guides, as you can see in the third picture. We were able to get it flatter for the last picture.
Also, what do you think about the shoulder belt covering the vest's buckle? It isn't like that in any of the pictures on the SafeRide4Kids website, but it ends up like that on him, in this car.
