I love everything but there's hardly any leg room for my almost 31 inch toddler... I don't think he'll rear face past 2... ideas?

Regardless of the brand of carseat, you will have the same problem. My son is now 15 months, and we had to turn him around today because he just won't fit rear facing anymore...

We don't own this seat yet (we are planning to buy one), but in my research I learned that it is normal for an older rear-facing child to have their legs folded up and that this is absolutely safe (zero increase in injury risk) and also quite comfortable for the child (because they are way bendier than us). Hope that helps.

This seat is known for its lack of leg room. While having limited leg room is NOT a safety concern for a rear-facing child (kids will fold their legs, put them up the back of the seat, or hang them over the sides), this seat does have very limited leg space. It also doesn't rear face as long as many other seats at the same (or much lower) price points.

We got it when our son was 14 months old, we have him front faced since then, so no idea if rear facing would crunch the leg room

Sorry I think I may have misread your question. If you're talking about the size of your child, mine is 27pounds and there is plenty to adjust further.

My daughter is very tall also, 100% for her age group. At 18 months and 35inches, she is at the next to the top shoulder strap. The manufacturer recommends turning it forward facing when they reach the top strap holder. I just asked our pediatrician at our 18 month check up what we should do when she reaches that point as I am sure it will be soon, and before she is 2 which is the law in CA. His response was to turn her around when she reaches the top strap even if it is before age 2 as she will then be big enough. That being said we bought this carseat for traveling. It is the smallest and lightest carseat we could find. She seems very comfortable in it. The bottom strap to attach it via car latches does not adjust on both sides which makes getting a perfectly tight fit impossible. It has good safety ratings but in comparison to the Britax carseat we use for every day, it really doesn't seem as safe or tighly secured in the car. Hope this helps.

My son is 13 months old 22 pounds and I'm sorry I'm not exactly sure his length. He is forward facing now and he actually sits with his legs criss-crossed in this seat. I think there would be plenty of room for your daughter. Seeing him in this carseat compared to his pumpkin seat, he looks so small in it. There is a lot of room for how compact this carseat is. I hope I helped :)

I would say it's too short for him; his knees would be in his face. My 5 year old who is tall still uses ours though when camping. So it would work if you have to have this style.

He might be too tall. His knee's might b too close to the handlebar. I suggest going into a store n having ur son sit on 1 just to be sure, then place order .

Hmmm. My one year old is 31 inches and has tons of leg room, so I think yes. There is plenty of room for groceries, but could be cozy for two bigger kids. Like a 3 year old and 1 year old are probably ok, but a 5 year old and 3 year old would be squashed.

I have a tall 4 year old. She fits great with my 1 year old but frankly more often she prefers to pull her brother. 2 long-legged kids would probably get in each other's way but we've had no trouble with our 2.

I have a very tall 3 year old in both seats his knees were very close to his chest. In the backseat his feet didn't but barely fit into the foot area. We went with a phil and Ted (that's also what we had previously but wanted to try something different) but sticking with the phil and Ted was the best choice. Although I do love their original models the new ones aren't bad just a little smaller

My daughter is 3 and fits fine, but I am not sure how comfortable a 4 year old would be. My daughter is on the short side. I would almost recommend going to a store and sitting your son in one to see.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

It's a tight space between the tray and seat. Not sure it would fit your child but maybe. It is far enough away that it wouldn't be an issue of space between their tummy and tray, but just not sure about the leg room. Might be you just want a booster chair with tray hybrid type thing instead.

My little girl is very tall for a one year old and she still has plenty of room to grow in this one. It seems like it would be so small just looking at it- but once I put her in there she still has a lot of space. Hope that helps :)

My daughter Is 5' and it's snug. Once you add the bottom pillow there isn't much room to move inside. We've tried to use a circle wood board and pillows to cushion but still is a bit on the snug side. Not much head room for taller kids.

I'm still using it with my 2 year old who is 30 lb and 36 inches and we still have room left to grow in it. One note though is that my husband is very tall (6'5") and wide so with the fabric stretching to fit on him and the the toddler in it there isn't any extra room when he wears her. But for me at 5'4" we've got plenty of room.

I have a chubby little man too (23 lbs at 9 months) and he can pull his feet in and put then on the tray if he wants to. I would say there is almost too much room! And the chair seat has 3 settings so you can adjust if need be. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much !!! Whew...one more question if you don't mind. I have a 2 1/2 year old that is about 28 lbs and I keep reading some concerns about the size of the toddler and being comfortable. Have you any experience or comments about this and are you overall happy with this stroller? Thank you so much for your time !
