TIY - it's just over 20" to top of seat (12" to straps), 8" deep & 11" wide. I'm actually thinking of selling it soon as Thea will not ride in a pushchair anymore as she prefers the buggy board. I'm also getting rid of the PT&T too! Friday Ad will be getting a lot of business from me .

I'm looking at these too but I saw some reviews on kiddicare that said that the chairs were quite small for toddlers. I have a TALL nearly two year old so am worried about how long it would last (if at all suitable)

If you sit DC down against a wall and measure his/her bum to head height it should give you some idea if it will be too small.

For what it's worth my very tall 2.9 year old had to give up riding in it as she got too heavy for it not too tall and the disparity between my two DDs was making it list to one side (DD1 was 16kg and DD2 was about 8kg).

ok well I tried them out in one of the new ones in a shop and ds2 does not fit!!!

he is 2yrs 3months. i couldn't put the hood up because he was taller than the seat.
he is average height I'd say, still wears 18-24m clothes.
seats were also really really narrow, he fitted widthways ok with just a top on, but plus coat and possible cosytoes and it'd be a no-no

THAT SAID, i do wonder if they've made the seats smaller, because the older models look like htey have bigger seats

I think the seats do look/are narrower as I think they have made them more padded than before. The frame is exactly the same though.
