My DC2 is tall! He's 18mo and when last measured was nudging the 90th+ centile for height and is comparable to a friend's son the same age who was measured recently and was off the chart.
DC2 is especially long in the body, so straps are a problem.
A couple of months ago we chopped in the Bugaboo Bee because his head was pushing through the hood and his feet were at the end of the Footmuff. In its place we got one of the £200-odd Maclarens, not sure of the exact model except it was pricey for a Maclaren.
We wanted it because it reclines flat (good for naps) and is more robust as it gets daily use for the school run with DC1
Except that DC2 doesn't fit in it anymore! His head is at the top of the seat now and pokes over the top when reclined. And his feet are at the end of the Footmuff. The straps won't do up, even extended. He is not at all chunky, just tall.
Is there any pushchair/buggy out there that will accommodate him? I really want one that reclines as he often naps in it on the school run, but am I going to have to give that up and just use a Maclaren without a Footmuff? In which case, I'll sell the new/expensive one and dig out our battered old Sport/Quest from DC1!

Hello,
We've noticed this thread is quite old and some of the product recommendations are a little out of date. We've spent weeks speaking to parents and testing out strollers and buggies. Here's our round up of the best lightweight buggies available to buy now
Hope that helps!
