5 month old baby girl is growing out of her cybex cloud t, any suggestions on what to buy next? She is a very tall baby!

Sorry but that cannot be right. The cybex baby carriers are amongst the longest lasting out there- the cloud T fits up to approx 87cm so last an average size child up until around age 2. If 5 months isn’t a typo for 15 months then I reckon you probably need to remove a newborn insert.

Agree - 5mo would be unusually young to grow out of the Cloud T.

Have you moved the headrest up? There is a little loop on top of it, if you pull this up it will slide up and down. You can then adjust it to her size.

It's not a problem if her legs are coming over the end of the seat as long as her head is contained within the shell and her shoulders are under the headrest.

Another way sometimes people think the car seat is outgrown when it's not yet is if you're trying to put them in with winter clothing on like a snowsuit. Car seats aren't designed for this and it can make the straps too loose as well, so best leave the coat off and then you should find it much more roomy.

If still having issues come back and let me know but these things will make a difference a lot of the time, so worth a try before abandoning the seat altogether.
