For the girls on the board, you have probably seen those charts they have on the back of panty hose which shows the chart to tell you which size panty hose to buy for your height and weight. Probably something similar to this: http://www.sizes.com/people/pantyhose.htm
What if carseats would do something similar with an indicator that this carseat is only for children meeting the chart's weight/height/age limit. It could indicate that a seat might be good for a 30 pound 5 year old, but not for a 30 pound short 3 year old. Just have the boxes shaded in for the sizes that the specific carseat works for.
I keep hearing remarks from people upset that the Graco Nautilus has a 30 pound weight limit. Well I think a 30 pound booster weight limit is great for the skinny tall 5 and 6 year old kids, but it isn't for the heavy 3 year old who can still be harnessed for a lot longer. Having a chart which takes into account height, weight and maybe age might be better in telling someone if a seat is appropriate for a specific child.
Do you think this idea is feasible for carseats or not realistic because it is too confusing and some people might not be able to figure out chart reading.
