Height and weight percentiles

My son just turned one 2 weeks ago, the last time he was weighed properly by a health visitor was when he was 5 months old.

I've tried to work out his height and weight percentiles using the red book but I'm not sure I've done it right.

I've measured him today against the wall and he was 73cm. Also weighed him and he was 20.8lbs.

The measurements probably aren't 100% accurate but going by these and his age could someone please tell me his percentiles?

Im not concerned about his weight, just need to know so I can pick the best car seat when he outgrows his infant carrier.

Thank you.

Off the top of my head that looks like just under the 50th to me. But I can have a look

Yes, weight just under the 50th.

Height is lower, between the 9th and 25th.
