    That sounds rediculous. Chantelle still easily fits in her capsule at 14mths. THere is a facebook group I can add you too that may have more info for you, and you could take pics and ask for opinions.

    that would be great please Misty, cause it really seems wrong to me....


    I did just find this on the rta website about the new laws:

    A child aged between six months and four years of age will need to move to the next level of restraint when:

    Their shoulders no longer fit comfortably within the restraint; or
    Their eye-level is higher than the back of the restraint; or
    The top insertion slots for the shoulder straps are below the level of the child’s shoulders.

    no mention of the height marker, and I can still raise the straps more levels, so they arent below her shoulders. so by reading the laws I can ignore the height marker. but that doesnt seem right to me...im so confused!!!
