Very misleading.<br /> Thanks everyone!<br /> @kiddosc: that sounds like a much easier way to measure than putting a ruler on her head. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-carseat-experts-out-there-want-to-help-me#post-1720562 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:49:39 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1720562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, inch from top of shell. I doubt she would be at the actual height limit yet which is really high (but pisses me off because that's why I bought the marathon without knowing about the inch rule -- so misleading; $$$ mistake for us :-( ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-carseat-experts-out-there-want-to-help-me#post-1720405 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:06:33 +0000 tinyperson 1720405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>or if they reach the max height limit in the manual for rear-facing (general requirement for carseats, but Britax may be different). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-carseat-experts-out-there-want-to-help-me#post-1720395 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:03:54 +0000 looch 1720395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, one inch from the top of the shell, not that sliding head adjuster thing (sorry for the super technical term, but I don't know what it's called, lol). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-carseat-experts-out-there-want-to-help-me#post-1720391 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 09:03:13 +0000 kiddosc 1720391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw a video that suggested placing a book on her head that had a 1 inch spine as an easier way to measure. If you can still see the top of the seat over the book, she's still ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-carseat-experts-out-there-want-to-help-me#post-1720380 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:56:36 +0000 loveisstrange 1720380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The rule is when their head is one inch below the top of the actual shell of the car seat, they are too tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-carseat-experts-out-there-want-to-help-me#post-1720362 Wed, 25 Jun 2014 08:50:08 +0000 mediagirl 1720362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Britax Pavilion. I also have a 35" 2 year old who is currently rear-facing. How do I know when she is too tall to be rear-facing? I know you can't move the seatback up while rear-facing. How will I know when it is no longer safe for her to ride in this seat, rear-facing? </p>
