I know this seat isn't in favor, but I have a question,since it might meet our needs here....I know they say it has a top slot of like 19 inches and supposedly 70 pounds, right? But it is so narrow and small the consensus is that it would never fit a child of that size...so, how big a child can it comfortaby fit? Let's assume average proportions, not petite by any means, but also not obese or seriously tall..just average to slightly big for their age.
5 years/45 lbs? 6 years/50 pounds? more? less?
Thanks!

I don't have a como but I do have a signo and her is my 5.5y/o at 47lbs. and she is now in a monterey booster because the signo's lack of leg support was a problem for long trips. The como is more narrow in the shoulders but has the same dimensions for leg support. You can always construct a leg support device out of string and a pool noodle (but that kinda sounds like a strangulation hazard).
Here is my 5.5y/o in the signo:

I'll have to go on our other PC to find the picture- but at age 4, 40 lbs,42", DD was kind of cramped in the Como we tried out. She fit great, and said she loved it (pink, ya know?), and was on the second-to-top slots (was already on top slots of Radian) BUT, her shoulders were really not comfy. It also had a steep recline which was not something she was used to since she was in the Radian. I returned it since I figured she wouldn't be comfy long. Ok, here you go:

Thanks to both of you, especially that last pic, since dd is exqctly that size right now, 4/40/41 (1 inch shorter)...I am still torn, since I'm nto sure if dd would mind her shoulders being squished ornot..they are sort of rounded inthe nauti....and I think she ouwlactually like the recline a lot, she would still love to be RFing, and likes sitting in her brothers seat..
