The seat is comfortable and sturdy, and there's plenty of room for the torso and head of your child to expand comfortably.

This means you can adapt the legroom as your child gets taller so they can still be able to comfortably walk on their legs even if they're very tall. This is a great feature and it works well - I found that after a bit of practice, it took me just 30 seconds to fit the seat and make the legroom.
