Customer Rating: Summary: There are better options. 2008-11-18 Comment: We've had this seat since our son went forward facing at 26 lbs and 1 year old. He's turning 3 in about a week. It is not legal for our state to have him in a booster seat at this time, but he has already outgrown BOTH the harness weight limit (40 lbs) and the harness height restriction (15.5"ish torso).
So, if your kid is anywhere near the top of the curve for height/weight or both - you need a different seat. When he's old enough (4 years old) to use the seat as a booster that'll work, but the seat I'm going to have to buy now (and should have bought in the first place - Graco's Nautilus) will also be a booster.
The Nautilus has a 65 lb. harness weight limit and the torso height (NOT OVERALL HEIGHT) limit is 18.5"ish. So by the time my son's TORSO grows another 2 inches (not sure how many inches of torso growth translate to overall height growth), he'll definitely be at least 4 and legal for a booster.
If I'd only known....

Customer Rating: Summary: I love this car seat! 2008-10-13 Comment: This car seat has been wonderful for us. It was easy to install and looks very comfortable for my son. It is a little bulky when in the rear facing position in my little sedan, but is wonderful forward facing. It is nice and secure and my son's head doesn't flop around at all when he is sleeping. I love that this will last him throughout his time in a car seat without having to ever buy him a new one!
