According to Evenflo's website the harness can be used up to 50 inches and 40 pounds so I would say yes. The lap buckle is like other convertable carseats that clip in the center crotch area so it adjusts around the childs lap. I haven't tried using it as a booster yet.

It will likely fit around him, but will be very short. It fits my 32 lb 3.5 year old perfectly. I would suggest moving up a size, but looking for one with the strap between the legs so it doesn't ride up much. Those will be more expensive, though. It also depends what you are using it for and how likely it is that he will need it.

I wasn't aware of a buckle problem. I have owned this seat for my now 31 lbs 3 year old boy for over a year, and while the buckle between the legs is a little short and I always have to go digging for it when I put him in the seat, it is not too short/tight or uncomfortable while he is in it, and I don't have any problem with buckling/unbuckling it.

Yes, my kid is 5 and it fits him...maybe a little loose so I just make sure the strap is really tight. Fyi, the details are made of foam so be careful taking it out of the packaging. My son broke off the tail in the 1st 5 mins of opening the box.

My 6 year old is 37 pounds and 42 inches tall and it fits her very well. Like someone else said, it's a bit narrow for my adult sized rear-end, but I've sat on it and scooted around and it supports my 125 pounds without a problem. I'd say it would work for a 2 year old up to an average 8 year old.

My daughter is very tall also, 100% for her age group. At 18 months and 35inches, she is at the next to the top shoulder strap. The manufacturer recommends turning it forward facing when they reach the top strap holder. I just asked our pediatrician at our 18 month check up what we should do when she reaches that point as I am sure it will be soon, and before she is 2 which is the law in CA. His response was to turn her around when she reaches the top strap even if it is before age 2 as she will then be big enough. That being said we bought this carseat for traveling. It is the smallest and lightest carseat we could find. She seems very comfortable in it. The bottom strap to attach it via car latches does not adjust on both sides which makes getting a perfectly tight fit impossible. It has good safety ratings but in comparison to the Britax carseat we use for every day, it really doesn't seem as safe or tighly secured in the car. Hope this helps.

I am in the same situation as you and I'm keeping my daughter in it until 40 lbs. then you can take out the 5 pt harness and use it as a booster with a seat belt.

Sorry, no one of that height but...This harness is fully adjustable. I would give it a try regardless of your height. It is a very good product. You'll be saving a lot of money if it fits and besides, Amazon has a very good return policy. Good luck!

This stroller doesn't have five-point harness, only a three point across the lap. So if your son tends to still fold over in half I would be cautious. Of course, they develop so fast that first year, by the time you bought the thing, he might be sitting quite independantly and be strong enough to support his back for longer periods of time. This stoller does not recline at all.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

My daughter is 32 pounds, we use the 5 point harness. I know it said on the britaxusa web site the weight for each seat that's where I did my research.

I think you will find that the vest is too big for her. My 3 year old is 33 pounds and 39" tall. It's a little big on him and I will not use it at this point for him but think in 6 months it would be ok for occasional use. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my 64 pound, 52" tall 7.5y. Although he's passed the weight limit (I wouldn't use it for him), it still fit. I would not attempt it on a child so young unless you would otherwise go without a car seat as I'm sure it's better than nothing. I suggest the Diono Radian, it's a great foldable car seat with high safety ratings. Get the simple one without all the extra supports, we use that for travel for our 3y old.

I wouldn't recommend moving her up to the Britax Parkway SGL just yet. My son was 4.5 and in the 85th percentile for height and barely 40 pounds when I moved him up to the Parkway SGL. After a while some kids find the Marathon uncomfortable, but at 2.5 I would suggest perhaps trying the Britax Frontier, which has a bit more room in the 5-point harness than the Britax, so thte straps might be a bit more tolerable for your little one. And once she is ready for a booster, the Frontier will easily convert.

IMO, not as easy as the 5point harness seats. Depends on width of your car. It will be very hard to buckle each seat belt. If your kids are still within the requirements of the radians, get them! They WILL! I had an Olds Alero and all 3 of my radians fit with no problem. These are a bit wider. :(

My son just turned 3, is the 30th percentile so you have a reference. The strap is in the closest position and I should move it forward as it seems too far back to the point where it is in line with him. With that said, it does not pull tight up on him or seem to squish anything, but the shoulder straps are adjusted perfectly. So it's not like there is slack in the shoulder straps to make it looser on the center one. I just honestly haven't moved it forward yet as we just got this car seat. I hope this helps

My almost 4-year-old daughter is 41" and is right at the tallest strap. Not sure how you could get 49" out of it. We've had this seat for 3 years and love it but I wish it fit her just a little longer.

Maximum weight for the 5pt harness is 40 pounds, after that I you should switch to the seat belt. Max child height on the games is 50 inches.
