Our daughter's very tall. She just turned 6 mos old & is 28" & 18lbs. In NJ she has to stay rear facing 6 more mos. Will this seat be roomy enough?

I think so. She might be a little cramped depending on how much she grows over the next 6 months, but my 28 inch 10 month old fits with plenty of room to spare. The biggest trouble for you may be finding a carseat big enough for your daughter that will still fit in your vehicle rear facing.

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 think she will love it... I got one for my niece and one for my son.... These car seats have like a small platform on the bottom that you can fold in and out... When you fold it out the seat reclines a little. I think your baby will be fine.

If she does, it won't be for long... my niece who just turned 6 is 45 pounds can barely fit for a few minutes comfortably. When my daughter who is probably about 34 inches sits in it, she probably only has a foot of space above her head (and less space for getting in and out as the roof arches up for more headspace once inside). You might want to look for another toy, or you can get this and enjoy it for a little while. I'm sure you could sell it easily when you're done with it (or save it for another kiddo).

I don't think it would be appropriate because the seat isn't rear facing capable. (Or at least mine isn't, but I have had it over a year so that may have changed). That would be my only concern for you. Otherwise the seat is wonderful, just make sure your child is able to be front facing if the seat only goes that way.

Depends on how long you want to keep him facing backwards, but I'm not sure what seat you have matters for that. My boy is about 34" tall right now and his legs are a little scrunched up, but he's still good for long trips. If you are going for forward facing, you'll need a Suburban to get away from the kicking in the back of your front seat, but that has more to do with the car than the car seat.Basically, your car makes a lot more difference with the legs than the car seat. I can't imagine that this seat would give a long-legged child any trouble.

My wife is about 5'7" and there is plenty of room to adjust the seat for shorter people. It should work out ok unless her legs are really short.

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 :)

The seat is huge. If you were to put it in an Accord rear facing the front seat would be very far forward. The seat is also very tall. So it may be difficult to get your child in and out of it if rear facing.

My daughter is 5'5" and it fits her well with the seat in its lowest position. At 5'7" you should be very comfortable. She likes the bike so much we are buying a men's model for her boyfriend.

My 6 year old is 37 pounds and 42 inches tall and it fits her very well. Like someone else said, it's a bit narrow for my adult sized rear-end, but I've sat on it and scooted around and it supports my 125 pounds without a problem. I'd say it would work for a 2 year old up to an average 8 year old.

My big 5 year old fits, she weighs around 60pounds. I have an 8 year old, tall big for her age, she doesnt fit in it. I had the same one last summer it lasted well, this year it didnt, maybe because my girls are big?

Rear facing or FF? I'm not sure on the FF but my daughter just turned three and is pretty tall for her age and still fits RF. We actually have another seat now but I enjoyed the Diono.

My daughter is almost 15 months and is still rear facing in my SUV. I believe it is high enough for her to see out - she can at least see trucks/trees/buildings. I know the seat reclines at various points- so depending on how far reclined they are- could make the difference...

at 3 and 30lbs does he not still fit rear facing? I'd keep them rear facing for as long as is possible, if they really have outgrown all rear facing seats height wise (weight wise he is still good for most newer seats) then, yes, this seat would work well...but most 3 year olds, for sure, should still be rear facing, rear facing is always safer. A lot safer.

Although, I just noticed that she is 8 years old... I think it might be a little small for her. My daughter is 5 (she is very big for her age), and she fits in it perfectly, but I don't know about when she is 8. The more I think about it, the more I am coming to the conclusion that it's a possibility that your daughter might be too tall for it.

My very tall 6-next-week-year-old rides by herself and it's roomy (several stuffed animals can ride with her). It's a wide carriage, but unless they are good buddies who like to cuddle (or the 6yo is smallish), a 2yo and a 6yo aren't going to be comfy in the trailer together. With the strap division right in the middle the 2yo will be OK, but the 6yo will likely be squished.You may want to find a local bike shop and see what trailer models they carry to help you better envision the seating situation of the Burly Bee, but my unscientific opinion is: whatever kids ride together in this trailer will touch no matter what, and a couple four year olds seems like the max limit for a squish-free ride.

My daughter is a tall 7 year old,49", and she still has plenty of room in the seat. She likes to ride it without the seat though, and that way I can see it being used past 10 years old.
