How picky are they for height requirements?

[Anchored]

I normally don't advocate breaking rules, but I know 48" means it tested fine for shorter but 48" CYA
so when my daughter was 47.25" last fall I bought her these sneakers, and she rode everything just fine

Since height requirements are for the safety of your child, you want them to be strict. I have seen them have kids remove their shoes and hats and push down hair.

Ok thanks, I will cancel our Kali River Rapids fast pass. I feel bad because she is so close to 38"! She is just super short for her age. Oh well, next time!

My kids are tall for their age. Too bad one of them is a chicken...LOL!

They are strict, which is a good thing when it involves safety. My DS4 just hit 38 inches !

it's all in the shoes - but don't be over obvious about it. A 2" lift will probably be noticed.

We have seen them ask a parent to remove the child's shoes. I assume they thought there was something in the shoes.

They EXPERIMENTED with using the measure-once wrist-bands.
But, some parents were slipping the bands off of the taller kid and putting them on the shorter kid.

SO… No-go.

They should have tried it with an indicator that can't be switched to another kid, like tattooing their height inside their lower lip.

But then you'll just have people bringing in homemade tattoo guns to alter the tattoos!
