2yrs old and outgrowing True Fit by height

This is what I saw on another forum, Mom does say she has 2" of shell left, so who knows when this child will *really* outgrow the True Fit. I just thought it was shocking to see such a young child outgrowing such a tall seat RFing. I made sure the Mom knew that the height listed on the seat did not matter, but she still says that her daughter only has 2" to go before her ERF days are done. Her last check-up she weighed 26lbs and was 39" tall...now Josef has a long torso but at 40" he had TONS of shell left over his head.

She is asking about the Frontier (FN) or Graco Nautilus (GN) as she needs to do a 3-across, but honestly if her daughter is outgrowing the True Fit due to height, will either of these get her to proper booster age? And maybe I am not thinking clear, it is early in the morning :p and maybe one of these will get her to age five.

She's probably not measuring right. Somewhere there is a thread on how to measure, but I'm almost willing to bet that she's measuring straight across her child's head and not at the proper angle.

She was measuring the incorrect way :( Little lady has MUCH more room than she orginally thought :thumbsup:

I gave her this link and said she did not know this was the correct way to measure a seat while RF :eek:

*I did ask her for a photo, and that is when I gave her the correct way to measure. I too kept thinking "how on EARTH does this happen?! I even told her that if her 2yr old was outgrowing the TrueFit due to height, I honestly did not know if even the Regent would get her to proper booster age.*
