[biglips]

Can u please measure from the bottom seat (where their bums sits) to the highest top strap hole on the back seat bit for me please?

Do you mean up to the shoulder belt guide on its highest setting ? I haven't been able to get hold of one as they're discontinued.

yes

here!!!

and also DD got a loooonnngggg body!

she had tried the britax evolva but is too small as at Mothercare i had to squeeze her body in!..as she cant fits her shoulders between the side cushions

so it is best to buy the car seat the ones that i just use the car seat belt across her body?

argos has the hi-liner for £19.99 in clearance.
ds is 116cm (at last measure) and fits it fine - the head support isn't at it's highest setting by a way yet.

ooh cool...many thanks Chasingsquirrels...

this is the only car seat that i havent tried it out yet as they didnt have any in Mothercare a few months ago

i got a hi-liner in mothercare on saturday - didn't realise they had them in argos at half the price. Grr. Do you still need it measured?

I have 3 hi-liners, my eldest is a small 9 year old and still fit in it.

the hi-liner is suitable up to 11 years BTW

yes if you dont mind Chippy

thanks

It's a booster seat so uses the adult seatbelt, which goes through a guide above the shoulder. The guide moves up as you raise the headrest. Headrest at lowest setting, guide is 36cm above seat; at highest setting it's 50cm.
It is a narrow seat. Across the back it measure about 26cm and about 32cm between the side 'wings'. ie about the same width as the Britax Freeways.

Are you sure you want a 3yo in a booster and not a proper harness?

chippy - i could do with another year of harness car seat but i cant find a car seat (me and a assistant went thru all the car seats) and none of them fitted my DD. That was 6m ago.

do u think i should go back again?

my ds was out of the harness type seat before he was 3 due to weight.
They are made for the average child - but if your child isn't average there isn't much you can do (either ignore the weight/height maximums, or go with a seat that is meant to be for an older age range).
I was confident that my ds wouldn't try and get out of the adult seatbelt (and he never has).
There is no way I would have this same confidence with my ds2 and so would probably keep him in the seat that he was too big for (although ds1 isn't big so it won't be an issue).
ds was quite a chubby baby/toddler (though at 5 has slimmed right down) and I have never found any problems with the narrowness of the seat.
