What is the actual rule on the snugride for height?

[annie8975]

I have heard so many things. Is it 26 inches? I have also heard as long as there is at least an inch of space b/w the babys head and the shell of the seat you are fine.

Thanks

as long as there is at least one inch of PLASTIC SHELL (not fabric or padding or anything like that) above the baby's head AND they are under the weight limit then they are just fine to ride in the seat still.

Some kids carry their height in their torso and some in their legs - some have long necks and some have small heads ... so putting a flat 26" rule is sorta unrealistic to use because it doesn't apply to all kids.


So as long as you can feel at LEAST one inch of plastic shell above your baby's head (like from the top of the head to the top of the carseat shell) then you are stil ok in the height dept.! :)
