I just received the large rstv from happymothers. It came super fast. Ds really likes it.

I have two concerns.

1. DOM is 2005. I didn't see anything about expiration in the manual, should I be concerned?

2. The fit. Ds is a string bean. About 50" and 51 #s in shorts and a tee. I pulled it as snug as it would go, bit there is wiggle room. Is this an issue?

The length looks good standing up. When he sits down it pushes up at the shoulders. It looks like the pic of the boy on the box. Is it ok that there is more then an inch between his shoulders and the vest?

My dad is crazy about it. I bought it for travel and the occasional hop in somebodies care with them (I would be there too). Dad wants it in his truck.

1. There is no expiration.

2. It needs to adjust snugly around the chest, otherwise it doesn't fit him. It will ride up a bit when he sits down, that's okay, but it needs to fit across the chest or it doesn't fit. A little wiggle is okay but space or gapping is not. That's side to side; there will be space above the shoulder.
