DS is no where near outgrowing his SS1 at 5 months, 11 lbs and 25.5 inches long, but DH was at work and I was bored and had a $5 off coupon for BRU, so off we went to play with the MR65.
DS had TONS of room over his head; granted he's still very little but I was impressed by that. The MR65 had the extra padding in it and DS was in a prefold and cover, so for older LO's in sposies it may be a bit more room. None the less, still a lot of room height wise. He was also on the bottom slots (he is on the bottom slots in his SS1 as well). I measured it at 8 inches to the top of the shell because yup, I'm *that* kinda nut job who has a tape measure in her diaper bag
Room above his head
He had about 5 inches from his heel to the back of the seat at BRU.
Room by his feet
I feel DS fit fine in it and my first impression is is that it's a great seat for those who need the extra pounds to get their LO's RFing longer, but after playing with it I have a concern/question. It steming from the fact that I broke the display while trying to get the feet off the bottom!!! I was taking the one foot off and the clip broke right in my hands.
Where it broke off
Broken plastic piece, shows stress marks
I was in no way attempting to rip off anything for sure and if you look closely, you can see white stress marks where it broke off. Upon closer inspection of the bottom of the seat the other side had the same stress marks on the same plastic tab. The upper two on both sides were also begining to show stress marks.
My concern of course then, wouldn't that be an issue that the plastic that is suppose to keep the feet on has already broken after less than a week or two being on display? Granted it's a display and people are rough with them (I work at a place that sells car seats, trust me, you'd be amazed at how people treat them!) but couldn't one assume that after a few installations the same stress marks would start to form? Is it really something that is a big deal? Not a big deal? Cause to my uninformed self, it seems like it is.
Any thoughts? Anyone notice it on theirs?
