*To measure torso height, sit child against a wall and measure from floor to shoulders.  This is the most important factor besides weight in determining if a child will fit in a particular car seat.

VISUAL CAR SEAT COMPARISON

Kobe rear facing in a Britax Diplomat. Age 2 1/2, Weight: 33 lbs., Standing Height: 37 inches, Torso Height: 13 3/4 inches

The seat is fully extended and at it's max height and Kobe's shoulders are a tiny bit above the harness (which is ok ONLY when rear facing)  He has already outgrown this seat for forward facing use.  While it is a great, compact little seat for babies and small toddlers that will fit nicely rear facing in most compact vehicles, it will not last nearly as long as it's big brother, the Boulevard.  So if you have the space in your vehicle, we recommend you go with the Boulevard to be able to get more years of use out of the seat.
