I finally got to see an OnBoard 35 in person next to a SR32. It has a taller shell! I first put my (outgrown it) baby in both to see which was less outgrown-- she still had shell over her head in the OnBoard! :jaw: Wow! Not enough, but still. I measured, and the shell is about an inch taller than the SR32 (though padding could have confounded the result a bit.) The base wasn't as nice as the SR32 and nowhere near as nice as the KeyFit, but it wasn't horrible, despite the weird lockoff-thingy (is that a lockoff? There was no manual with the seat I looked at...)
I also saw a CA in person for the first time, and my 5 year old (admittedly the shortest-torsoed of my children, for her height) could use the 2nd slots rear-facing. Not great for small babies but hey, really great for older kids! I think this is the seat most likely to get darned near every kid, even the skinny tall ones, to the rear- and forward-facing limits by height.
Dorel is doing some things pretty right, even if they do others wrong.
