Age, Weight & Seat Sizes
The Babybee range
The current Babybee range is suitable for use from birth (with the bassinet or cocoon) up to around 3-4 years in the seat, depending on how tall your child grows. In order to balance stroller size, weight and usability, the seats are designed to fit the average Australian 3-year-old, up to 20kg in weight and comply with all Australian Safety Standards.
When it comes to stroller seat sizes, fixed seat strollers (like our LUNA) and joggers often have the largest seats, however, don’t have the functionality or flexibility of being able to face in both directions. 3 in 1 models (the ones that accommodate a capsule, bassinet and seat on the frame, all capable of facing either direction) typically have a slightly more compact seat, due to their design and in order to balance overall size and weight.
Notes about children's growth
Babies and toddlers grow at very inconsistent rates, with their torsos growing faster to

Each seat weight limit: 20kg
Seat back length (from seat to top of the backboard): 50cm
Max. head-height allowance (with the canopy open): 55cm (Note: in order to balance overall pram size & weight, the DUO seats are very compact. You can see Emmy does fit in the seat however it is not going to be a spacious, comfortable ride. If your main reason for buying is for a child around 3 years, please consider the ROVER).

LUNA
Each seat weight limit: 20kg
Seat back length (from seat to top of the backboard): 49cm
Max. head-height allowance (with the canopy open): 65cm
Note: fixed seat strollers like the LUNA typically have larger seats than reversible seat options. Whilst the backboard height (49cm) may not appear to be extra tall, you have 65cm of space when seated and when reclined you'll find your little one's body moves forward slightly giving them extra room when laying down. Of all of our stroller options the LUNA has the largest seat as you can see from our 4.5 year old bellow!
