It's good info and all, just not quite up to date. Can it be revised?

An appropriate height guideline to determine when a child is too tall for a rear-facing convertible is when the top of their head reaches the top of the shell. Make sure to measure to the top of the hard shell and not the fabric cover that may appear be taller. If your seat has an adjustable head support (like the Britax Boulevard or the Cosco Alpha Omega/3-in-1), then the top of the head support is the important level if it extends beyond the main shell.
# Some manufacturers state other limits. For example, some Britax convertibles may list a rear-facing limit that allows the top of the child's ears to be at the top of the shell. Such limits are acceptable only for those models listed by the manufacturer or in the owner's manual.
