The issue we had when we tried it out in the store was that it is so narrow across the back. At 3-1/2 years old, 36 pounds and 40" tall, my daughter's shoulders already fit very snugly. It was obvious that she wouldn't be able to use this seat to 80 pounds or 53". In fact, I was skeptical we'd be able to get a year's use before she simply was unable to sit in it properly because of the narrowness of the back. Nice idea but faulty execution in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633595.post-80410823103292138092008-06-14T19:14:00.000-07:002008-06-14T19:14:00.000-07:00The top of the child's ears cannot go above the sh...The top of the child's ears cannot go above the shell of the car seat. We just bought the Britax Frontier, and although my daughter is below the height and weight requirements, including seated height to shoulders of less than 18.25" (her shoulders are only 16 1/2"), her ears are slightly above the shell. Therefore, she has to use the seat as a booster. We are still looking for other 5-point harnesses and are disappointed at how these measurements do not make sense in coordination to ear height.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633595.post-1917632061679921622008-01-25T11:35:00.000-08:002008-01-25T11:35:00.000-08:00Ive been researching this because of a lot of talk...Ive been researching this because of a lot of talk in a group Im in...I see that car seats can go up to 80 pounds, but, Ive also researched the fact that the LATCH in cars that you hook the car seat to are only designed to hold up to 48 pounds. Some are more, but I have not seen a car/van LATCH that holds more than 50 pounds.Shawn and Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041017383117087177noreply@blogger.com
