Mothercare My3. Is the seat bigger than a bugaboo?

Sorry for the obscure question> I'd really like a rearfacer for my son, and having sat him in a Cameleon last week, I'm worried there's nothing big enough out there. He seemed too big, though he's not 2 and is quite small for his age. i didn't like the shallow sides of the seat unit either. The My3 seems to have a deeper seat, but does anyone know if it's actually longer?
I'd be really grateful if anyone had any advice

I have been looking at the quinny buzz online - the newer version is on offer in mothercare at the moment - and if you can google for a 10% code - you can get it for about £283
I think the larger seat unit on that might do - I have seen a girl of about 4 in one up at the school most mornings! (on school run).
I notice they now have for sale an "all terrain wheel" for the front - which would make it super to push no doubt - and the extra wheel is around £40 or less (google it!) most places.
I have seen a my3 - I like the look of that too -but it seems smaller than the buzz stage 2 seat - and I think the mothercare my3 is quite expensive by comparison.
Apparently the new buzz 3's have neoprene covered bumper bars (because on older versions the baby's were chewing the foam off!) and the wheels all have ball bearings now - making them really smooth to push. Not sure what else they changed.

The quinny buzz even with the big seat on is NOT big enough for a toddler its TINY. The only difference in the seats from newborn to XL is that the newborn seat is more padded, so the xl seat is about an inch deeper, thats all. But its still tiny. Its nowhere near as big as a cameleon (cameleon has 10 inch seat depth, xl seat on buzz is 9 inches and the cameleon is a lot longer) . The my3/4 arent very generous length or width ways, although they are deeper I think. my mate was considering one for her toddler and he looked squished in it.
Really, once you get to toddler size, unless your pushchair is enormous, they will look as if they are filling the seat, but remember they grow a lot slower now than when they were babies. My DD has only JUST grown out of the cameleon and I have bought one of the new bugaboo bees, which has a very large seat unit.

The 4 year old you saw in the buzz was probably in the old style ones, the seats were a lot bigger than the current model, and the hoods were bigger too.

Ah, that would explain it. Hers does look a bit tatty now. . Like she's had it for years.
There were a couple of mura's on ebay. New. Less than £200 yesterday. I got my 6y old into one so they will be large enough. Also have a look at a jane slalom R.

mura is very big I admit, but the seat is quite short. The Jane are fab though, they have never made a bad pushchair to my knowledge, and they are indestructible.
