Actually, it was right on. I have a 17 year old daughter, a 19 year old son and it predicted that my younger two, 10 and 9, sons would be within an inch or so of their older brothers height and they were spot on with my daughter. I think the problem you are having is that the height and weight measurements are for children that are too young.

This is so lame....it asks if you're expecting a boy or girl, and the next question is "how old is your child" and the youngest option is 4 years old? What?? And the father's height options don't go up high enough for my 6'10" husband....this is not helpful at all.

I'm so confused. I thought this was supposed to be predicting the height, hair color, and eye color about my baby-to-be, like it was described in my newsletter and under the quiz, but the questions and results have nothing about hair and eye color, and it demands the height of your child as a toddler! First question I say "I'm expecting a boy;" not "My child is male." If I already knew how tall he was at 4 years, I wouldn't take this quiz anyway lol. False advertising!

Yeah, this is ridiculous. Hard to understand why it starts at 4 years old? My husband in over 6'6" and the quiz only goes up to 6'5" - stupid. Our children will most likely be tall, I'm 5'10". Waste of time! And no eye color predictor!

If the only way to predict the ht. is to start with ht. and wt. at 4yrs. old, that's fine, but then why does it want to know about the toddler as a baby in the first question. It seems to start with a boy or girl fetus, then 4 yrs old or older. That makes no sense. I believe 2 or 3 yrs. is where the pediatrician starts with his predictions. Also couldn't find any predictor for eyes???? This type of information, being presented by Parent's Magazine, should be put together better.

I took the quiz for all 3 of my kids..ages 10, 7 & 4. I thought is was way off on my daughter as it said she would be 6'4", but it was pretty much spot on with the boys' heights based on what their pediatrician has also told me! I put in their current ages, heights and weight and I believe it is predicting their height as adults.

Well along with the previous comments above, has anybody else noticed that the first question allows you to choose the answer "Find out the gender? No way.

The prediction I got was "Your baby has a good chance of being 5'1" tall, with red hair and brown eyes. What a cutie!" Although my partner has red hair my babies have zero chance of being redheads as I'm not a carrier of the gene that causes red hair. All my babies will be carriers though. Should they have kids with another red carrier or redhead then they would be the ones that have a chance of having red haired children. Whoever wrote the program needs a refresher course on genetics!
