We have a BMW X3, so I don't think the height will be an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754919 Wed, 01 May 2013 14:19:00 +0000 loveisstrange 754919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an Alpha Omega Elite for my tall girl.

Thank you. I think it will def be too tall for mine then. Glad you mentioned that. Thanks again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754839 Wed, 01 May 2013 13:55:07 +0000 Weagle 754839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rescuemom10: I have an '05 Acura TL. Regular sedan. It is very thin, but the back is so tall that it can make rear facing a challenge. It was an inch or two too tall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754827 Wed, 01 May 2013 13:51:50 +0000 Rescuemom10 754827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Oh...what kind of car do you have? I was looking at a britax but then was leaning more towards the Dionos. But I have a small car. reviews say its good for a compact because its thiner profile. But my car does not have much height in the back either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754748 Wed, 01 May 2013 13:34:36 +0000 Weagle 754748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: I wish. It's the one we wanted, but when we put it in our car it was a little too tall. I loved it otherwise. So, we switched for the Britax. Our plan is to buy a Diono for LO when we have a second child that's ready for the convertible. By then we'll have a bigger car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754739 Wed, 01 May 2013 13:32:07 +0000 ValentineMommy 754739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: Awesome!!! Do you have one, and if so, do you like it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754696 Wed, 01 May 2013 13:18:26 +0000 Weagle 754696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dionos are super tall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spin-off-convertible-seat-recommendation-for-tall-kids#post-754665 Wed, 01 May 2013 12:53:42 +0000 ValentineMommy 754665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was reading a thread on when to switch LO into convertible seats and have been thinking about this recently.</p> <p>Our DS is only 3 months old, but he's already 26'' tall (14 lbs). I believe our infant seat (Chicco Keyfit 30) is for up to approx 30'' tall, so I don't know how much longer he will be in it (depending on how fast he grows). Does anyone have a good recommendation on a convertible seat for a tall child? We were originally looking at a Britax, but I've also been looking at the Diono. </p>
