I will have a newborn and tall (40") 3.5 yr old...Will the front seat fit a taller child? Most of the ones I have looked at will not...

Yes. But not as well as the sit am stand part. It will be a bit harder to turn. Keep in mind this thing is the size of a mini van.

The front seat is great for tall children! My 45 inches tall 5 year old still fits.

I bought this bike for my 3 year old grandson and he is as tall as most 4 year old boys. I have the seat at its highest level and he really needs the next size up....16"? His friend is 4 and calls the bike a baby bike because of its size so, unless your child is very petite/small, you need to buthe bigger bike.

My almost 4-year-old daughter is 41" and is right at the tallest strap. Not sure how you could get 49" out of it. We've had this seat for 3 years and love it but I wish it fit her just a little longer.

Don't know, cause my baby is 1 yr old now....But I can predicted that the botton part of seat was high and big, so it's not so convenient for tall kids....may be you can choose some other seats with simple design....

Yes! This was bought for my 4 year old who is 40 inches tall! No problems - 38 will be perfect!

I probably would not recommend this seat for an infant even though is comes with an infant insert. We started out with the Chicco KeyFit 30 and loved it. He was in it until he weighed 30 lbs and it was very easy to get him in and out and with the base, made it particularly easy to take the entire seat out if he was sleeping without waking him. The Britax Advocate 70-G3 seems to be working out very well for him at this stage. We have it rear facing at this point but may have to turn it forward facing soon if he grows much taller as his legs seem a little cramped in the rear facing position.

Hi, our baby was 9 months old when we got the seat, and she even seems too small for it....there are long plastic guides on the shoulder straps that i think would be too long for an infant...that's my 2 cents... i would get an infant car seat - it can get heavy but the ease of transporting the sleeping baby is well worth carrying it.Good luck!

You have to do what you feel is safest for your little one. That being said, the seats do lean back as far as you want them to. I think a 5 month old would be just fine. I'm not sure what model year I have. We bought it new in January of 2014. I love it even more now than when I wrote the original review.

The front seat is not so good for bigger kids. I have a 5 yr old that is 45 lbs+ and he fits perfectly in the back seat. There is a zipper at the bottom of that seat that will open a pouch for their feet. We have taken this stroller to Disneyland and It is perfect! I love it! People don't even realize there is a 2nd kid back there.

My kids are 16 mo apart, so my older child wasn't huge when the baby was in the infant seat, but they fit great. The back seat reclines enough to make it not feel too cramped. The compact size is awesome, so I definitely wouldn't change it, but as my infant got bigger, his feet would be right at my older child's face. It made it very hard for her not to play with his feet while he was napping in the infant seat :).

My baby was born at 10lb 8oz, quite a bit bigger than a typical newborn, and was a homebirth - we didn't take him anywhere for 2 weeks. When I put him in his seat for the first time, I was *really* uncomfortable with how far apart the shoulder straps are. They slip off his shoulders unless I have the chest clip higher than typically suggested - basically as far up as I can go. This is despite the infant insert padding. I've never been a fan of needing a separate car seat for a newborn, but honestly I'm not sure this seat is the best choice because of the width between the shoulder straps.

My 3 year old is 45 inches tall and has had no problem using it... and I have the seat backI guess in answer to the , "what 3 year old would be able to use it?"- the answer would be mine- and she is fine with the motor skills needed to operate it also Perhaps the company should put a height guidleline on it instead of age- but mine loves hers...

yes. this seat is designed to fit newborn through toddler. the lowest seat adjustment plus cushioned inserts give a lot of support for a newborn. the only downside i would say for a small baby is that there is not handle so this seat cannot be carried around through a store or something if baby is sleeping.

Dear Michael,I bought the stroller in November 2013, but my baby is not yet born. But from what I saw, not recommend for newborns because the back is still high for them.I hope I have helped.Claubert

I have! My boys are 17 months apart so I needed my Safety 1st car seat to fit and it does! I use it in the "front seat" (the one furtherest from you). Sometimes I have to push the sides in, but its a nice secure fit! It's a great stroller! Highly recommend! Congrats on your growing family!

You have to buy a separate carseat adapter - there is a special for Chicco car seats. My son is over 37" and fits fine! I have the canopy in the lowest position, too, so my daughter can see over his seat better from the back seat (I use it as a double with two seats facing forward usually). No complaints about room, but there is still more room for him to grow since we can put the canopy higher!

How old are your kids? There isn't a ton of leg room. However, my kids are 3 and 5 and still fit in it. The 3 yr old goes in the back and the 5 yr old sits up front. This stroller has so much potential but I have had a lot of issues with it.
