I measured Marcus the other day & his torso was right at 14", only a hair under really. I was looking on the Britax website saying that the 3rd slot up on the MA is 14.5 inches. So...he should have 1/2" untill he maxes out that slot right? If I remember correctly, then he has about that amount of room before he becomes even with that slot.

However he only rides in this seat maybe once a week with my MIL. She does not go off with him much. Should I go ahead & move it to the top slot or wait a bit? I need to check him in it to see where he is for sure. I think he just had a growth spurt b/c the last time I measured him he had like a 13" torso.

SO WWYD? Would you check & wait or just go ahead & move it up?

I'd wait and see. Installation has a lot to do with how a body fits in a harness. If her backseat is sloped he may have more or less time than the measurements state.
