All RFO car seats have a maximum height AND weight limit. Each seat is different, but typically:
- maximum weight is 30 to 35 lbs,
- maximum total height is 28 to 35 inches
- maximum torso height is when there is less than one inch from the top of the child’s head to the top of the carrier.
When your child has reached ONE of these limits they are too big for the RFO seat and must move into a larger car seat.
The vast majority of children will be too tall for their RFO car seat before reaching the seat’s maximum weight limit.
ALWAYS check your car seat’s instruction manual, look at the labels on the seat, or call the car seat’s manufacturer to find out your car seat’s weight and height maximums.
