As pink as it is, the only comment Bitsy would make is 'this seat hurts!'...you can tell by the subdued look and lack of brilliant blue eyes
Anyway, she's 54.5 overall, 18.5 torso, 64 pounds. Her ears are not near the top of the seat quite yet, but her shoulders are about an inch over the top slot (which I consistently measure at 17 inches, despite SK's claim it is 18 http://picasaweb.google.com/joolstag/BitsyRadian107#5309706960021987058
This is in the house, and my experience is that kids grow and seats shrink as soon as you put them in the car, so she'd be a little farther over the top slots in the car.
We agreed that she'd sit in it in an emergency (car with lap-only belt and no top tether for example), and I don't doubt it's safe enough as SK has tested it with a dummy at least as large as she is, but from a practical standpoint, I still think she outgrew it at 7 (she still said it was uncomfortable back then, though http://picasaweb.google.com/joolstag/BitsyRadian107#5019600950861375602
