I think parents might enjoy this calculator. As far as I can tell, it's accurate.

kb, I couldn't get this site to come up for me :-( What formula do they use to predict?

Beats me. But try it again. I got in okay. You may have to wait a minute or so for it to load.

We used the double their height on their second birthday... would've worked for Carla, I think, if she hadn't gotten appendicitis during her last growth spurt. Too early to see if it'll work for Miriam.

This can't be right??? I'm 5'7", my wife is 5'6" tall. Our son ... who is will be 10 in a month and a half is already 5'2" 130 lbs.

When I entered this into the calulator it came up with his total height being only 5'7"? I don't see him stopping there!

This is because he is rather heavy for 5'2 and you are both short and he is short!

the guy who wrote about how the calculator said your son would only reach 5'7".... you clicked the wrong gender

Yea...umm.. im a 5'8 138-139 14 yr old boy. Some of the height predictiors said i'll be 6'0, 6'1, 6'2 and 5'11. My Orthodontist gave me a very accurate answer. He said i'll be 6'1.8 he said that 99.8% accurate. How tal will i be. My mom is 5'2 and my dad is 5'10 but his grow was stunted by 2 ichs some how he said. HOW TALL WILL I BE?
