I am hoping to see pictures of a child's head at the top of the Companion. The head fits until it's within an inch of the top.... sounds easy, but my husband and I disagree on where that exactly is. Don't have the ability to take a pic of my dd in hers....for someone to view. Hard to explain our question... but here goes: if the seat is on the floor and you are looking straight down while standing over the top... her head does not come close. If you view the seat from the side angle, then her forhead and top of her head are sticking out of the top. I'm afaid my question is clear. The very top of the seat curves at such an angle that a baby head really couldn't reach to the entire back while the neck is in a normal position. Clear as mud?
If anyone has a pic of their child at the top of the limit, please let me know. Thanks!

Look at the seat from the side. Take a ruler and hold it perpendicular to the top of the car seat so that you have a right angle (kind of like how doctors measure your height when you stand on the scale--they flip out that metal arm on top of your head). She should have an inch or more before reaching the ruler.

The Companion allows the head to be all the way even with the top of the seatback :) (Crazy Britax with their wild rules...)
