Spoke to my mum about Robin, Nico, and Amy's young ages.

I told my mum that Robin should be about 3.0 in Ascension, and she agreed. However, I told her she's supposed to be about 3.9 in Rewind, and she said that, as BardicFire point out, she does look more like 5-6. The actress is 8. It's not worth agonising over because literally that exact episode confirms we're in 2017 at the end, and we're in November, it can't get much later in 2017 - and it's not like Season 3 and Civil War should be moved backwards, and especially just over how old Robin looks. There's been some credits for Robin coming up saying "age 7", "age 12", and "old", so it sounds like we'll be getting to see different versions of Robin from across the 74 years and in 2091. "Age 7" is the same actress who played her in Rewind, but hopefully she's playing a slightly older Robin in the "age 7" scenes. If not, and Robin's a bit older than she should be, 6 or 7 now, the answer would just be that when they say, in April 2016, "He was a teacher, well-liked, but he walked out on her and their 18-month-old daughter in July," that they're not referring to July 2015 but rather July 2012, and it's a bit of a retcon with her DoB. Not the end of the world, and certainly not worth shuffling the timeline around just to fit.

My mum then said that in the "Fifteen years ago" Runaways scene, Amy looks about 2½, and Nico looks to only be about 3-4 months old. That's really silly of them, with the 5 older Runaways being said to be "17", "3 years older" than Molly, who is 14, off to college in a year, etc. They're seniors in December 2017, so at the very latest, Nico was born in August 2000. But also, Amy was "16" when she died in December 2015, so at the very earliest, her birthday is a little later in December and she was born in December 1998, making her maximum just-turned-2 in the scene.

I'm going to do my usual maths-y stuff for the Runaways' dates of birth, but it seems to me like we're going to have to say, roughly:
 * Early December 1998 - Amy born.
 * Late August 2000 - Nico born.
 * January/February 2001 - "Fifteen years ago" scene, rounded a bit from 16 calendar years. Amy is 2.15ish, Nico is 4.1-5.1 months old.
