I am thinking of ordering a BJCM for my 3.5 year old for our upcoming Disney trips. I'm worried about it being tall enough for him. Does anyone have a tall kid that rides in one of these? Are they comfy? I want DS to still be able to nap in the stroller if he gets tired, so that's why this stroller looks so appealing, but I haven't seen one in person, so I just don't know if he'll have the head room he needs. Anyone have a tall kid (40" and up) and a BJCM? Do they fit? Pictures would be fantastic, too! Thanks!

I do. My son is 3.5 as well and is 42 or 3 inches tall (its been awhile since I measured) and 42 lbs.

I have a BJCMD. I have found that it has the most headroom and head support.

J has lots of headroom in the maclaren volo, triumph, twin techno but his head is almost completely over the back of the seat so pretty soon he will have no support.

The MBUD had the same measurement for the seatback but because the canapy came strait out it was the shortest as far as head room.

I have pictures in this thread http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=39796&highlight=buggy+double There are seatback measurements in the 3rd post.

Don't have any photos cause mine is coming on Sat - but I did have DS1 try it in the store and he fits fine. He's definitely over 40"!

Here is a pic of my large 3 year old. Stats in siggy. He has plenty of room, but I bought it for my 8 month old.

Yeah, really tall seatback. The Inglesina Urbe also has a super tall seatback, and I prefer the footrest for longer legged kids (the cloth foot hammock isn't so great for big kids who like to hop in and out, in my experience) http://www.prmbabysupperette.com/servlet/the-1325/Inglesina-Urbe-Stroller--dsh-/Detail (http://www.prmbabysupperette.com/servlet/the-1325/Inglesina-Urbe-Stroller--dsh-/Detail)

We had both, I sold the Mini and kept the Urbe, though the fold on the mini is *fantastic!*
