I would like to get a truefit (Signo will be her main seat) for my 11 month old dd.
She is super tiny. 27-28 in (as of last month..who knows now...i'll measure later) and 15.5 lbs. She could..if short enough use it without the headrest.

How tall is the truefit without the headrest on?

Total curiosity here. I don't care one way or another (headrest or not)..but i'm interested..

How does it compare with an infant seat in terms of height (harness and shell height)?

Thanks.

I think she's wanting to know how much shell her baby would have in the TrueFit w/o the top on vs an infant seat.

Here is a Marathon (left with the FPSVD cover) and a TrueFit (right):

Here is a SnugRide (w/o base), Scenera, and a Marathon (left to right):

jessi, I think she'd prefer a shot of the snugride sitting next to the TF w/o the headrest on.

But I already have these ones. The TF and the SR are the seats currently installed in my car.
If OP would like, I can go take a pic of them, but my TF is not installed at a 45* angle as it would be for a newbie.

It's okay.. her DD is 11 months, not a newbie so she can be more upright

In my experience the TrueFit without the headrest takes up less room than an infant seat. I have a SS1 so the smaller seats might be smaller. Hope to help!

IME, putting the headrest on didn't change the position of the front seat at all, since the headrest seems to go almost straight up, instead of out and up
