(It's been a while since I saw the very beginning of .tri - I actually did forget Meiko was in Mimi's class and I apologize for that, but)

"Meiko’s digivice are the same model as Taichi and party’s, and she’s also the same age as them…"

though "and party's" is mentioned, there would have been no need to mention "Taichi" "and them" if she was not the "same age" as Taichi. They could have easily used phrasing like "the same model as Taichi's and party's, and she's also the same age/grade as Koushiro and Mimi" instead of a vague "them". It's possible maybe she had a birthday that placed her as older than Koushiro & Mimi at start, too (again, despite the ages issue?) Or that all three (Meiko, Koushiro & Mimi) "age" to 17 before summer, making them all the "same age". Regardless this is the only direct statement reference for her age (not grade): "same age as [Taichi and party/them]". A reference note may work for this to clarify, as well?

Actually I do agree on Kakudou's statement re: birthdays, I meant despite not having set birthdays the ages given were still official (such as Taichi's being "17" in Tri despite the real-world system). However, the Wiki doesn't seem to have Kakudou's statement on this anywhere, so maybe it can be added in as well for clarification?
