I'm not sure how tall, but I think this seat says it holds up to 90lbs? Check the manufacturer's specifications.

Marita, The 5 point harness says it is for children 22-40 lbs and 28-50 inches tall. They can use the seat as long as their ears are not above the back of the seat It is really easy to adjust the harness system For booster use, it is 40-110 lbs and 43-57 inches tall. Hope this helps.

I would follow the instructions and wait until she is 40lbs. That is the safest option. The 5 point harness car seats are the safest for every child. Britax makes one that can be used up to 80lbs.

It is suitable for children 40-120 pounds AND 38"-63" tall. Typically children can be at least 4 years old, but it is highly recommended to keep them in a 5-point harness booster seat instead (like the Britax Pioneer, Frontier or Pinnacle). We usually recommend this seat for children around 6 years old.

No. I'd keep her in a 5 pt harness. Go for a Graco nautilus, or other harnessed seat. Your child is too young for a booster.

My daughter is also 2.5, 36 lbs and the same height, and as my review stated this product gave her a horrible front and back wedgie. Not sure if this is an issue for boys but I would think it might be. We did let out all the "slack" in the strap between the legs but that did not alleviate the wedgie at all. Hope this info is helpful.

My 6 year old is in this seat with the 5 point harness and the back still can be raised quite a lot.

I have the Performance Sport and love it. I believe the difference is that the Performance Sport has a 5 point harness to secure the child starting at 20 pounds and can go up to 65 pounds. Once they reach that weight limit you use the vehicle seat belt to secure them in the seat. The Performance Booster does not have a 5 point harness. The child must be 30 lbs to start using this seat and is only secured by the vehicle seat belt. So, it would depend on the age/size of your child and whether or not you want them protected by a 5 point harness if he/she is still under 65 pounds. If they are already past that weight limit I guess the seats would work the same.

Weight wise she's ok. I'm 185 and got on it for grins. My daughter is only 5yo and 43 inches. I think it's a great size for her. I think your daughter may find the foot board short and cramped. A bigger one may be more stable and she'll have some room to grow with it.

My daughter is five and it is a very nice height for her. She is not a short girl.

My big 5 year old fits, she weighs around 60pounds. I have an 8 year old, tall big for her age, she doesnt fit in it. I had the same one last summer it lasted well, this year it didnt, maybe because my girls are big?

Like another poster said, it varies by state law, and I've found that the laws vary a lot, for example, a booster is OK from age 4 in FL (height and weight are only provided as guidelines and not requirements). Although I purchased this booster for my then 5 1/2 year-old, I took her out of a 5-point harness only because I needed something that would fit in my husband's truck. Now at 6 1/2, she's still in a 5-point harness in my van, and will remain in a 5-point harness until she refuses to sit in it anymore :). Her little sis (3 1/2) is in a 5-point harness in both vehicles and still in a convertible car seat in my van.

It depends on how tall your child is and how high they will jump. My 5 year old who is average height has no problem, however my 7 year old has to be careful.

It really comes down to you comfort level of a seatbelt vs. 5 pt harness. My son is 6ys and 40 lbs. We have the Frontier because we feel its still safer to have him in a 5 pt harness.

I have not measured it but my 6 year old is 45 inches tall and the lowest head position still goes above his head. The seat is very spacious and comfortable. He loves it. He fits comfortable even with two jackets on (live in cold weather area). He does not use the 5 point harness anymore. Hope it helps :)

It depends on what kind of harness you want. I wanted my 4year old in a 5 point harness for as long as possible, so went with a seat that converts form a 5 point harness to a booster with seatbelt. The harness mode is good to 90lbs ( can't remember height limit) once over 90lbs you can remove the harness and use the seatbelt mode (there are guides to hold the seatbelt at the correct position). I am very happy with the seat, it is very well made and my son loves it.

Thank you for your question. The Summer Infant Classic Comfort High Chair, Fox and Friends is a 5 point harness.

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.
