I had previously asked a question about height limits rear facing. I now realize that rear facing height limits are pretty important. This question is about forward facing and booster seat height limits. If a child's shoulders are still below the tallest harness slot/belt guide height and they are within the weight limit does standing height limit still matter? For example:
My sister's DD1 is eleven years old. She is pretty much all legs. She is approximately 5' but because she is all legs she isn't five stepping in most vehicles. Her younger sister's Turbo Booster has a height limit of 57". Please note that DD1 NEVER uses the Turbo Booster as she is over the height limit, but I'm curious if it would still be safe for her to use?
Example two:
My DS3 (5) is also mostly legs. (Must be genetics! Lol!) He weighs about 43 pounds and is about 46" tall. Having a shorter torso he is able to fit with his shoulders about 3/4 of an inch below the top slots of the Cosco Apt 50 but has technically surpassed the standing height limit. (He doesn't ride in this seat)
What are you supposed to do if your child's shoulders are below the top harness slots/belt guide position and is within the weight limit, but have surpassed the standing height limit?
