Is there a height limit for rear facing car seats?

We have the Evenflo Triumph Advance. I have yet to dig out the manual, but everything I see on line only shows a weight limit and not a height limit. Is there a height limit for rear facing, and if so, does anyone know what it is for the Evenflo Triumph Advance?

 

It should be written in the manual. Depending on the seats, the head must not be over the top of the seat, or less than one inch from the top.

 

I don't know what it is, I'll have to check my manual or the side of the car seat. I know mine has the weight limits posted on the side, I'll have to see if it has the height. I think mine are pretty close to it, if there is one.

 

Certainly check with your manual for your seat, but standard rule of thumb is that there should be at least one inch from the top of their head to the top of the car seat. You might be able to find the car seat manual on line too instead of digging your out. Hope that helps!!

Just checked my manual (same seats) - the top of the head must be at least one inch below the top of the seat. But at 30 lbs they have to be forward-facing, which for us will come far sooner than hitting that height limit.
Hope that helps!

 

If you have the Evenflo Triumph Advance they should be able to rear face until 35 pounds.

 

Thanks for the replies. Looks like height will come into play before weight. My daughter is 36 inches, and her head is 1, maybe 2 inches tops, from the top of the seat.
