Now that is seriously cool! From reading the info page, 2-, maybe 3-year-old size and what weight the other person can carry on their back appears to be the size limitation. Near the bottom of the page is a photo of a (presumably) mom kneeling down and hugging an excited kid wearing red. The caption above the photo is "Pam". That kid appears to me to be bigger than that, but maybe not.
Regardless, I repeat - that is seriously cool :)
