Does my sister have an abnormally short torso?

I was at my parents house the other day and was going to borrow the Big Kid booster (for the sidecar, if you followed that thread). My 9yo sister threw a fit because it's her seat, and she loves it and all of that. I asked her if she loves it so much, then why doesn't she use it? :rolleyes: I wasn't sure if she would still fit with the back on, but surprisingly she does, with a bit of room to grow! She then decided she was going to use it on the trip to Wisconsin this past weekend, so I didn't get to borrow it.

So does my sister have a really short torso or does the Big Kid adjust taller than I thought it did?

The Big Kid adjusts really tall. It's just flimsy with minimal SIP.

It fit Josh about as long as a Vivo or Parkway would.

We don't have our Big Kid anymore, but my very average sized (He's about 4'9" and 85ish lbs at almost 12) oldest DS last rode in it when he was 10 and he still fit with the back on. It's not that short IMO. Some of the newest models do now have EPS as well.
