current 5point rated for 40lbs is too small for my avg size 32lb toddler especially w/a winter coat. Is this one true to size? Will thick coat fit?

Yes. This car seat is completely adjustable both the seat strap and the shoulder straps have several positions.
1115614
You should never use a thick coat with any car seat. Even though you think the straps are tight, the coat will compress in an accident and your child could fly out of the seat or get badly shaken. It's not worth the risk.

There is definitely more room in this seat then, for example, a Costco scenera. So yes, there would probably be more room (although in a five point the coat should be removed before buckling the child in anyway)

@S. Herzog- This isn't a long-lasting seat. Depending on your budget, there are other ones that will last a LOT longer. The Evenflo SecureKid is one of them. The Graco Nautilus is another (and lasts longer than the SecureKid). This is a note for ALL who commented her and said they think a coat is fine-- Winter coats aren't allowed to be used by car seat manufacturers. The reason is all that puffiness under the harness compresses on impact and suddenly, there's a LOT of loose harness that a child can be thrown out of (or shaken around like a rag doll in). Think of it like a parachute harness; you don't want too much between the child or the harness will suddenly be too loose when its needed most. Please look for a CPST- Child Passenger Safety Technician- to go over what seats would work best with your child, your vehicle and your budget and who will show you tips on installing (9/10 seats aren't in correctly) seats, when they're outgrown, how to readjust and install etc. You'd be surprised at how much you didn't know (I was shocked too way back when.. and I thought I'd read every manual and watched every video known to man on the topic!). http://cert.safekids.org/get-car-seat-checked or google CPST + your zip code.

My toddler is 22 lbs and has plenty of room to grow with the five point harness. My opinion is you should be fine with a thick coat.

I agree with the previous 2 answers. My toddler is actually 42 pounds and tall. I keep her in the 5 point because she can undo the seat-belt and doesn't really listen when I say NO (go figure). She still fits with plenty of room and can even fit a doll in from time to time so 32lbs with a big coat would be just fine.

My husband normally wears a 2xl coat, so that is what we originally ordered him, but it ended up fitting like a medium to large. He ended up having to get a 5xl. My husband is 6 foot tall, 285#, and wears a 42-30 pant. Even with the 5xl its still kind of snug, and is very short (barely to his waist). The coat with the liner is also very heavy, but definitely warm and protective. Hope this helps!

I'm 6'3 in. 220 lbs with a slight pot. I bought the XL - my usual size. That was too tight. I bought the XXL. That's fine for just a shirt under. I do not use the liner - its crap. For cold (50-30 F) I like a wool sweater underneath, up to a 4 ply Dale Norway sweater below freezing, and the XXL I have is a bit tight for me. I should have bought an XXXL and had plenty of room for underlayers for winter. I don'y mind too loose.

This ran true to size if not slightly on the small side. I bought a small child's and it fit my nephew who weighs 31lbs and is just now in a 4T. He is 4 1/2 but on the smaller size for his age so I expected it to be way too large. He can likely use it until he is 5 as there is room to grow.

I bought the 30 this past Christmas for my 6 yr old, it fits nicely now but was slightly large for her. I think it should be great :)

I started using the toddler size when our youngest was 6 months. Last winter, our oldest was 3.5 years and still using the toddler size. Kept them warm in Norway winter :)

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

I would go a size up. My pomchi weighs about 8-9 lbs and it fits perfectly. U probably need the size up so it isn't too tight.

The doctor's coat might be a bit big, depending on her size as a 1-year-old. We gave it as a Christmas gift to our then 2-years-8-month-old granddaughter, who weighed about 26 pounds, and it fit her well, and still does, at 30 lbs. The coat's length falls at her knees.

My daughter is wearing 1 or 1&half; now. I purchased Medium 2-4 at the beginning of this year and set it to the smallest (2) for the skate. She did fine with this size. We have not tried it this winter but I would expect she wants to set it at 3.

I am 5"10" 230 lbs. and I went with the xxl suit. It is a tad big but gives me room to move around and add more layers of clothes if needed.You may want to go with the xl, the bibs fit me perfect and the coat is a tad big but not bad at all.I have NEVER gotten cold in this suit with minimal clothing and some pretty severe weather. You are going to love it!

I think you will find that the vest is too big for her. My 3 year old is 33 pounds and 39" tall. It's a little big on him and I will not use it at this point for him but think in 6 months it would be ok for occasional use. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my 64 pound, 52" tall 7.5y. Although he's passed the weight limit (I wouldn't use it for him), it still fit. I would not attempt it on a child so young unless you would otherwise go without a car seat as I'm sure it's better than nothing. I suggest the Diono Radian, it's a great foldable car seat with high safety ratings. Get the simple one without all the extra supports, we use that for travel for our 3y old.

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!

My daughter is 51 inches and 55 pounds. Very skinny and always freezing. She is wearing a 6 and it works great. It is very tight but they are supposed to be tight though to work the best. She can't get it off herself once it is wet - I have to peel it off of her. I am considering moving her to an 8 because we have had this one for 2 years and it is finally getting worn out from chlorine. But I'm afraid the 8 might be too big. They really need between sizes. Personally at 48 inches I would go with the 6 because you really don't want "grow room" or bulk in a wetsuit.

I would try to order the large first--as the coat appears to run large. I have a medium o. My 65 lb PWD and I have plenty of room to adjust. Frankly I have used most of what is out there and this seems to be the best--however that I so Lu my opinion!

I ordered a size large (12-14) for my son and he weighs 77 lbs and is 4'11-- the fit is great, room to grow but doesn't look too big. It's because he is so skinny. I think the med would have been too short in the sleeves. I like that he has room underneath to layer. He loves this coat! I think the large would be fine for your son- he would prob quickly grow out of the med as they seem to be close to the same size. He is slightly shorter but I don't think it would be too long. I hope this helps.
