Strollers for rent that would fit a 48 inch child?

[Childs1stTime2Disney]

Does anyone have any experience with the strollers for rent at the popular rental companies, that would fit a 48 inch child with a long torso? The stroller rental places say the strollers fit a 47" or 48" child but the stroller companies themselves say 44", Anyone have any input on this, or experience to share with their own kids? Did your child fit or not fit, how tall were they etc?

We just had a 48 inches in a single baby jogger. In fact she went to the rental store and laid in doubles and singles of different manufacturers and chose this one… they are really too big for all of em but this was the best.

My son is about 47 inches and fits in the single Bob Revolution. The sunshade needs to be open or it gets in the way.

So you cannot use the canopy?

Do you know which one exactly? Aren't there different ones (Summit, Citi Mini, etc)?

The opposite...works best when using the canopy. Otherwise, when not in use, the canopy gets in the way for them.

Check the last few posts on this thread https://www.disboards.com/posts/64764087/ I have pics of my 54"/76lb'er sitting in a Joovy 360. There are places that rent them in orlando.

Never mind I just recognized your username We've talked.

My son is 48" and is 5.5. He just barely fits in the BOB Revolution but his head is trying to poke out of the canopy through the top

He will definitely size out this year/early next.

My kiddo is just over 48 inches tall, she did not fit in the double city mini we rented. At least not in any useful way. She was fine walking most of the time....but we did not do open to close.

Baby Jogger Citi Mini GT is your best bet. This really depends on torso height and head height so each child is going to fit differently.

I have been trying to find out the height of the back rest portion of this stroller, for that answer. I cant seem to find it.

We have a trip scheduled for the end of June with my 6yo grandson. He is 48.5" tall and weighs 63 lbs. I have the Citi Mini GT2 stroller and I pulled it out of the shed to see if he would still be able to use it. He hasn't been it in for several years. He has short legs and a longer torso. He is able to fit in the stroller and it is easy to push. However, the sunshade does get in the way a bit. When the sunshade is folded it eats into the headroom. It is not enough for us not to use it, because there is no way I would be able to carry him. He fits just fine with the sunshade down. Now, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't have a growth spurt.

Sounds like someone needs to invent a larger capacity stroller. The “Walk n Stroll”?
Great marketing opportunity.

These are special needs strollers, and they definitely exist.

Is there already a “Walk n Stroll“ brand on the market?

So my child is similar, longer torso. Do you mean he fits. better with the sunshade opened up, or closed behind his head?

He fits. I'm not seeing him this weekend, but I'll try and get a picture the next time he comes over, so you can see for yourself and decide if it works for you.

I have some pictures. He was being silly, so they aren't the best pictures, but you can get a sense of him inside the stroller. I also included one of him standing, so you can get an idea of his body type. There is plenty of headroom with the canopy down.

Just thinking out loud here……is there a way using Velcro and a few binder clips, you can pull the shade up higher when closed?..
