AND, in order to be issued a Rider Switch pass, you have to have someone in the party that does not meet the height requirement. The CM issuing the pass will ask "who is not riding", and we actually had them ask to measure our son, who was almost tall enough, to make sure he was NOT. Only then would they issue the pass. We had to wait at the exit to the ride (Space Mountain at Disneyland) and again were asked "who is not riding", so the CM could get a visual on whether we were legitimately using the pass. You are allowed to take a party of 2 on the "second ride", not three. And, the CM will not let the person "not riding" go in, so basically, you can't just use this to skirt the line. They are pretty inflexible about the rules at Disneyland. Maybe not so at WDW; I can't speak from experience there, but this pass is designed for parents with babies and toddlers, thus the name "Baby Swap", which later changed to "Rider Switch."
