If u do, I would like to ask you the measurement from the back of the seat to the end of the footrest? With the footrest extended straight. Thank you.

I have one and love it. I don't have it at home at the moment, dh left it at nursery, here is a link with lots of measurements on and I will measure it tomorrow.

Thanks, waiting on a uk company to get more stock and then hopefully be able to try one for my dd. But her legs can't bend so wondering if they will fit, I think I still will need a pillow under her legs for the length. Glad to hear that u like it. We have a kimba spring at the moment but it is very heavy so don't use it in the car. I like the idea of the eio only weighing 10kgs.

I could not get one from uk. So I got it delivered from america. The foot rest is very good it has lots of levels including flat with the seat, the seat is slightly agled and the foot rest locks on the same angle.
Sorry here is the link just click on size chart

Spoke to the USA company and they said that we can only order through the UK company now. They won't send the pushchair from the US to UK. Which is annoying as no one in the UK have stock at the moment.

Rather than starting a new thread.

Did you get an EIO in the end Mitchell? WOuld you also recommend it? I currently have a Phil and Ted Sport for my dd 2.8 but she is growing out of it fast. We have been offered a chair which will be useful for her to sit in but not great for confort or ease of pushing for longer distances.
Her new school will be 25mins walk through village with very rough "pavements" lots of obstacles, curbs etc. Also would like to be able to at least pull across sand on beach.
Many thanks

Yes we did get it, it is good over uneven surfaces because it has bigger wheels even though it is not a 3 wheeler off roader. Very comfy and is small although doesn't fold down small. Only negative I have is the handle is adjustable and thought that might be a weak spot when going up or down curbs. But definitely very happy with it and it's light to lift unlike other sn pushchairs. My dd still fits in our p &t vibe but much more comfortable in eio.

Thanks Mitchell, how old is your DD. Where did you buy it from in the end, I can´t find any UK stockists.
TIA

I have one for my 4.5 boy and both me and him love it, it does come with wedges to make the seat a bit smaller.
The only problem I have it a raincover does anyone know one that will fit.
