Not sure she has used it yet, but for the price, I figure it would be fine :) Oh, and P is a giant and mostly legs, but we switched to convertible at about 29.5 inches to be safe (after her 9 month appt, I think). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128780 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:25:02 +0000 Adira 1128780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: @sorrycharlie: I agree - I don't understand the cut off - it seems like the 1" at the head is the most important part.</p> <p>And it sounds like I need to get a convertible for Xander soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128779 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:24:29 +0000 runsyellowlites 1128779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a "whatever comes first" thing. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128769 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:22:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 1128769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: @Adira: well, we use the convertible in our car anyway. lol. this is just for when my mom has to run errands. I just don't understand the difference in cut-off if her head is still more than 1" below the top?</p> <p>eta - damn! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128768 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:22:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 1128768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: That's correct. It had a 30" limit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128765 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:21:18 +0000 Adira 1128765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: So once she is 30", even if she still has more than 1" at the head, she can no longer use the seat? Even if all her height is in her legs? Just asking because I have the same question about Xander and his car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128758 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:18:30 +0000 runsyellowlites 1128758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea, the 1" is for long torsoed babies. She still has a 1/4" growth, given she's an 1" from the top. Definitely close to upgrading soon though! *exciting*</p> <p>ETA: if she doesn't go with grandma often she may very well outgrow the seat before her next visit. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/height-limit-for-baby-seat#post-1128739 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 12:13:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 1128739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so O is 29.75" long (just left the doctor's!)</p> <p>the manual for our chicco keyfit 30 says height limit of 30" or when their head is an inch from the top of the seat. She is obviously close to 30", but her head is not 1" or less from the top of the seat. </p> <p>is the 30" OR &lt;1" thing because some babies have longer torsos...? LOL.</p> <p>my mom uses it when she babysits, which is why I'm asking. she doesn't have her often enough to necessitate buying another convertible, though. </p>
