Ergo has a very small waist band compared to other similar carriers. The waist extends to 43 inches (51 with the extender that you can purchase). The Beco Butterfly Beco Gemini and Boba 3G both extend to 57 inches. The Pikkolo extends to 54. The Pattapum to 55. The Action Baby Carrier to 53. The Anglepack to 50. The Babyhawk Oh Snap to 66. The Olives and Applesauce to 60. Check out thebabywearer.com for tons of helpful information on babywearing and different carriers (there are tons of great carriers out there, way more than what you see in stores or even on Amazon).

The twin frames I have purchased only take Twin XL - about 6" longer in length than regular Twin mattress. I made a cushion pillow to take up the additional length from the standard twin mattress. I intend to buy a twin XL mattress in very near future as my son will be too tall for the standard mattress. We actually bought special baskets that fit end to end for holding his books while reading in bed or other materials- gave him added organization space at the head of his bed. I have two twin XL platform frames. My boys have outgrown the standard twin mattress. I was unable to find a standard twin platform frame. I went with these frames. I'm well satisfied with the purchase made. Hope this helps. The twin frames I have purchased only take Twin XL - about 6" longer in length than regular Twin mattress.

You know, it's about scale for me. I bought the 12-in. for my 6-yr old, it looks fine. I just asked my 9-yr old to ride it, it just seems to be too small. The foot board especially (she's a kid's 5 in shoes). I'm not sure of the actual size difference between the two options, but I would guess that the 14-in would accommodate a larger, heavier child. Amazon's description seems to apply only to one model, so I couldn't make a real comparison.

It is a pretty large frame. I am 5'8" and its ok, but I think 5'4" could be awkward. Still, its a great bike and a great price.

Yes. I'm 6 4 as well and have to actually put the seat down. I swear a giant could comfortably fit on this bike. Definitely go for it if you're thinking about buying it. I use it daily for at least 5 miles with zero back pain or knee pains. The only issue with being a bigger guy/gal is the footsteps come undone when you get off the bike. That's literally the only flaw

Definitely go with the larger version. We have two and it will last for a while.

Oh yes - we have a "big" one too! it is very study...we(they) love it so far - our big guy even gets himself on the top and curls up to fit on the top platform - if I had to fix something it would be to make to two top platforms bigger - but like i said he fits himself up there no problem. He may be big and fat but he can get himself into small places! Good luck!

I have a VERY LARGE 3yo that fits alright in here... he's wearing 5t or size small if that's a helpful Guage. I don't know that if his little brother (almost 2) was as big a guy as he is they would fit comfortably in it for much longer than another year. So I'd say it depends on how long you plan on using it? We also have a 6 row expedition. Folds up and fits just fine in the back w all rows up. Of all the strollers I've ever had (5 maybe?) This one's been the easiest to Collapse and lock.

Thank you so much !!! Whew...one more question if you don't mind. I have a 2 1/2 year old that is about 28 lbs and I keep reading some concerns about the size of the toddler and being comfortable. Have you any experience or comments about this and are you overall happy with this stroller? Thank you so much for your time !

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

If you haven't already decided - I'd go with the SnugRide and this frame. The SafeSeat isn't worth it. You won't want to haul the baby around in the carrier when it's heavy enough to exceed the SnugRide weight limit. In fact, our son outgrew the SnugRide at about 5 months by height (he's 99 percentile) and was about 16 lbs at the time and already too heavy to carry around when you add the 7lbs of the carrier. Also he was sitting up at that time, so we were able to go straight to the umbrella stroller.So...in summary I recommend the SnugRide, this frame, a good umbrella stroller (MacLaren Volo), and then switch to a convertible carseat (Evenflo Triumph Advance).

Congratulations. I have 9 month old twin boys. I did the same thing: had them in the same crib at first. I used one camera then and when I separated them into their own cribs I ordered another camera on-line and used it with the same monitor. I have the Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" screen. You have to toggle between each camera to view each baby (I was bummed that you couldn't view them at the same time) but it works fine that way. Unless you have your cribs very close together, I would recommend two cameras so you can have them at a good enough distance to utilize the zoom feature. Otherwise, the view is too small and you can't check for their breathing (which I'm sure every mother does in a paranoid moment!) I have the cameras mounted on the wall and they can reach them sometimes but they mostly leave them alone. If they detach the power cord, it will just fall to the floor. It isn't long enough for them to bring into the crib. I mention that because I recently received notification of a strangulation risk from the power cords on these monitors. I saw the photo dramatizations and the cameras were set up on a surface close to the baby's crib. Anyway, that's a few months away for you so you have time to think about changing the placement if you have to. The cameras and monitor work great still. I am very satisfied with them. Have fun!!

Wish I could answer your question due to I have never used a large one. After I purchased the one, I ordered another one due to the quality of the photos.

I am 5'4" and have an ergo baby carrier. This is a great question to ask. The carrier fits my husband who is 5'8" much better than it fits me. At my height, it sits very low on the hips, which I like because it helps equally distribute baby weight over the entire back. This is the reason I bought the carrier. It does a fantastic job of distributing weight across mom or dad's body. I also find it very safe as I am very clumsy and worry about falling with baby. I would def try it out before investing the $$$. For me, I regret this purchase. 1. My baby is very hot natured and gets too hot being next to me. 2. The newborn insert makes the carrier way too bulky for me. 3. This is designed for average or thin adults. This is not designed for large busted women or overweight women. There is not enough room for all of mom and a baby too. 4. My baby is small and not yet able to completely straddle me, so he does not sit comfortably. At 7 months, I am getting a frame backpack carrier for general toting around. I had one with his brother and he loved it. Plus it solves all of the above issues. I knew better but I wanted the closeness the Ergo provided. Good luck!

Wow, at 2terrabyte why is that even an issue?? I have no idea.. Just use a huge external hard drive and it should be almost limitless. All I know is that 2tb seems like plenty, at least for me. In four years of many photos, I didn't even fill 250gig on my laptop that was my main computer at the time. I do like this all in one, tho it isn't quite as fast as I had hoped it would be. And I prefer the Windows seven side to the childish eight side. Love the large screen. Overall..I would recommend it..the storage should be plenty especially for a home computer.

If you do have small kids then I not going to recommend. Otherwise it's perfectly fine. But just cautious, don't tighten too much on those screws, otherwise it's gonna break.

My little guy is 7.5 months old and we had him in the Large about three months ago. It was big but it was still effective and he didn't mind sleeping in it! It wasn't a magical experience as he still is up every two hours to nurse (no fault of the sleep suit of course!) but it REALLY did help with the amount of jerking movements that would wake him up. He is 18lbs and 28 inches and the large still fits his body but his arms and legs have grown out of the length of the sleeves (poor boy goes to bed in high waters but we are still using the sleep suit ;)!!!! So if you want a snug fit go with the smaller size! Hope my babble helps! My little guy is 7.5 months old and we had him in the Large about three months ago.
