Hi-

It could be some time, but the seat is essentially the same as the Size4Me70, so I would expect the review to be very similar.

I saw this at my local TArget. I put 3 of my kids in it (ages 20m, 3.7 yrs, & 8). Considering it for my 3.7 yr old, who is 34 lbs, 39″, and is currently Rear Facing in an XTSL w/ a 45lb RF wt limit.. It doesn’t seem like he has a ton of room left RF in the XTSL. Also I do not like the low profile of the XTSL, and I love the SIP of the HeadWise. Why couldn’t the HW have a higher RF weight limit? It appears that it would accommodate pretty tall children RF, but only to 40 lbs. ? Can you comment on the RF height limit in comparison to the XTSL? Thx! I took lots of pics of my 3 in this seat!
