I bought the seat last November (before the Nautilus came out) because I needed a secondary seat for my 4 1/2 (at the time) year old, ~44 lbs. At the time, it looked like she had about 2 inches left (see photo below).
It's been in dh's car, so I haven't been seeing how she was fitting these days until I drove his car this weekend. Her shoulders are even with the top-most position of the sliding harness! I was like, 2 inches of torso growth in 6 months???
I finally realized that the harness slots are cut slightly higher than the top-most harness position. Also, the harness does not slide all the way up. In its top-most position, it is still not at the top, kwim? Does anyone else have this problem?
So what I thought was 2 inches of grow room was not. LUCKILY, I still need the seat for my 2 1/2 year old (who I also noticed today has outgrown the AO by height - shocker there ).
Maybe I should have checked more carefully by sliding the harness all the way up before I bought it. It doesn't matter whose fault it is, but dh sure isn't happy that he was told to pick up a Nautilus on the way home tonight, considering I just bought a seat 6 months ago that was supposed to last a year....oh well.
