Anyone ever done a "Height Predictor" for their child?

The other ones we used that just use parent height were not as accurate as this one below which takes into account parent height but also other measures which allow one to account for where a child is in their personal growth curve (where in time their growth spurt is…and that varies hugely across children…for some its at 10, for others its 15).

As but one example: oldest daughter was always 25th percentile on the doctor’s growth chart…but then went thruogh a growth spurt late and now is now at 80th percentile and taller than both parents. And this chart predicted that when the others put her between us two parents in height.
