I thought the 1 inch rule rfing was to protect from the ramping up?
Ive seen a few CPST counsel against forgoing he 1 inch rule.
I don't think I would use it with less that 1 in rfing.. Why not just use it ff? There is a big step between rfing and booster..
No no! The issue is whether to buy a booster for my DD (who's almost 4, 40 lbs and 42" tall) OR to buy a seat that will RF for my baby (who's almost 1, 28 lbs and 32" tall). I bought the booster for DD, thinking that DS was already too tall (in the torso) for the Guide65, but apparently he's still okay. So I think I might return the TB that I bought for DD, and buy the G65 for him instead. Whoever I don't buy the seat for will have their current seat brought from home and installed on the airplane.
She was measuring from the shell though, not the headrest. He'll have more than 1" above his head when considering the headrest.

Well whether it is allowed or not, I don't think I would not follow the 1 inch rule. Not in reading all I have here.
Maybe wait for a tech to chime in again..
Well that changes everything. Maybe I'll return the TB then! So can his head just not go above those headwings that move up? I wish I could have read the manual before going there!!

wendytthomas said:I'm glad you're comfortable with a lap baby. If a 20 pound baby came and hit my child in her seat at 150 mph, that's 3,000 pounds of force. I wouldn't be comfortable with my now dead child who was properly protected. A lap baby doesn't affect just you and your family. If your baby isn't a projectile, they're your airbag. But you stated you're comfortable with that.
Do you have the 34" minimum to FF?
