I weighed and measured DD today.
51lbs
46 inches
17 inch torso, well just under.

She is on the second from top slot in a Pre advisory installed LBP no recline.
Shouldn't she not fit beings that slot is only supposed to be 16 1/2?
I measured a few times criss crossed and it always comes out just under 17 to 17.

Couple her 51lbs squashing the seat padding and the angle of the installed seat, and it's possible she's still fitting since you are measuring her torso to be less than 1/2 inch over the slot. She may also be sitting up extra straight for your measurement but not so straight when she's actually strapped into her seat.

DD1 slouches in the Regent. I have caught her when she sits ups to get and accurate measur ment. She has an 18-18.5 torso and is about 1/2" under the top slots, even with when she sits up as straight as a board. If I measure her right after buckling she squashes down so she is just over those second to the top slots. It seemed to change from day to day but no matter what I am done with the Regent. She sits perfectly in her new booster, has been sitting well in the TB despite the discomfort. I think I grew tired of trying to install that beast :(

Josef's torso measures over 17", but yeah he slouches sometimes in the Regent and *could* use the third slots when he does. When he is sitting nice and straight, like he does in his boosters, he is well over the third slots.
