Do any Chaperone owners find the shoulder straps really short? My son is 5 months and 27" tall and I can barely buckle the straps between his legs.

No we don't have problems with the length. Do you have the manual? The straps hook behind the seat into a metal locking clip. But, there are 2 different slots on the straps to hook them into the clip. One is supposed to be used when the baby is under 11 pounds. The other is for babies over 11 pounds. When you switch the locking clip at 11 pounds, the straps get longer. I would check to make sure your straps are in the right setting. But I would advise looking at the manual because placing the locking clip in he wrong place could be dangerous. I hope that helps!

You need to losen the straps. You tube the video on how to do it. That's what I did. You need to raise it from the back I had the same issue till I watched the video.

My 5 month old is also tall. Over 27 inches and is 14 lbs 6 oz. We also have her wearing some 6 month old clothes. Her baby Merlin sleep suit is the small size and it still fits great! I don't see us needing to transition up to the bigger size for quite a while. I recommend getting the smaller size.

My 10 month old who weighs 19 lbs and is 27 inches fits ok. It doesn't seem like he will fit comfortably if he was much bigger.

I have tall kids too - loved this stroller but had to sell it as my then 3 yr old daughter became too tall, and the tires just couldn't handle the weight either. Leg room was also a problem and her arms were pinned to her sides. I do not recommend this stroller for tall/older kids. She was wearing a size 6 in girls at the time, my now 2 yr old (just) boy is in a 5t and is too tall for the single Expedition we purchased. It is really easy to maneuver and fold down, but in my opinion takes up a lot of room.

I have the same size. I'm assuming from your post that you haven't yet tried adjusting the sides and shoulders for a better fit? I'm 6' 5 inches and had to adjust the shoulder straps out all the way for me to be able to lower the waist enough so that I could attach the belt loops on the bottom to my webbing belt.

We have had no problems at all with the fabric or car seat getting to hot/warm in hot weather. Our toddler is very comfy in this seat & loves the cup holders. My biggest complaint would be that in the winter when he has a winter jacket on, it is near impossible to get the straps tight enough. Because of this we've moved it into my husbands vehicle where he rides far less often. I hope this helps!

Yes, my son is just under 5 feet and weighs somewhere in the 80s and it fit him very well. There are plenty of adjustable straps that are easy to use to get the fit just right. The biggest downside of the pack is the size of the sleeping bag compartment. I really had to work to stuff his sleeping bag in there and I had to take it out of its own stuff sack to make it fit. I don't think he can get it in there on his own...

Thank you. He is tall but I can just put the canopy back if needed. He doesn't care. He just wants to come with me when I jog. Right now we have a single Bob and he gets a little jealous when I only take the baby so I'm hoping this will work for us. Thank for you input.

I don't have a measurement, but my husband is quite a bit larger than me and a larger build - closer to 190lbs and only 5'9. He can wear a jacket or hoodie and still wear our toddler when he was in the 30lb range. This is compared to my 5'5 and 105lb frame - significant size difference, and there was still slack on my husband with the straps.

A friend of mine took up the length in the seam of the strap in the back. I would have just done the same by taking it up but she did a nice professional like job for me. I'm 5'5" and had to take about 2+". I knew that it would be long from reviews.

It really comes down to you comfort level of a seatbelt vs. 5 pt harness. My son is 6ys and 40 lbs. We have the Frontier because we feel its still safer to have him in a 5 pt harness.

Hi Sharese B. I'm 5'9'' an 190 lbs and I have to adjust the shoulder straps in the medium position. I think the bag is a little big right now for your son. I recommend you look for a 40 or 45 litters backpack.

I didn't use it when my baby was really little, but they snap up pretty small. I don't like them too much now that my baby's bigger, though, because they're not long enough front to back (if you go through the legs, not around the waist) and don't cover him up all the way. They probably go up to between size 3 and 4.

I had my 5 month old in here. He is smaller than average and he was fine! Same as any umbrella stroller.

Yes, your child should be tall enough, if not you could use the buckle to strap them in and drive it for him until he or she is tall enough.

The hips straps worked fine for me. On 34" waist I adjusted them to almost their smallest setting so you should be ok at 38". Plenty of padding and it stayed buckled just fine. You may already know how to adjust the waist belt properly but if not then read some posts.

Good question. My husband is 270 lbs and it fits him. My daughter is 5'2" and weights 105lbs and it fits her, too. She was surprised when she adjusted the straps and fit her like a glove. That's when she asked for one just for her. She got it, no problem.
