I just bought dd a new MA, now I'm thinking about selling the MA to get her a Regent!

I am worried, she's about to move into the top harness slots and I don't know how much longer she will last in it.

How long will it take her to grow 2 inches in the torso? Would it be worth it to get her a Regent, or just stick with the MA? Will the MA get her to a good booster age? Right now she is 3 years and 9 months, weighs 37lbs and has a 14 1/2 inch torso. She just went through a big growth spurt and I don't expect another one for about a year, she tends to do most of her growing in the fall. I know I'm rambling, does anyone have any advice? I was hoping the MA would be the last seat we needed and would last her atleast a year and a half. Then I planned on selling it to recoup some of the money I spent on it.

Michael moved to the top slots of his marathon around the same age and outgrew it about a year ago. He was 5yrs 5mths, so it took him nearly 2 years!

It took my dd over two years, closer to 3 years, to grow those last two inches in her torso. But, every kid is different, so I can't promise your dd won't outgrow it faster. I think someone said it takes 6 inches of overall growth, on average, for 2 inches of torso growth. That was pretty accurate for my dd.
