Post caption
Everyone hears about height and weight limits but do you know about torso height? This is how my son George outgrew his convertible car seat. Although he was still within the height and weight limits, his torso height was too tall for the straps to come at or above his shoulders.
Remember when it comes to a forward-facing car seat, we want the straps to come at or above the shoulders. When we're with a rear-facing car seat, we want them to be at or below the shoulders. This distinction is very important and a big misuse we see amongst parents

Transcript
My son George is technically still within the height and weight limit of this Graco slim fit three l x. He has that sorted by something called torso height. Let me show you. So George has a fairly long worse, and even with the shoulder straps at the highest position, they are still coming from below his shoulder blades. And remember, when it comes to a forward facing car seat, we want those shoulder straps to be coming at or above the shoulder. So unfortunately, George, you no longer fit in this car seat.
