My daughter is 28.5 pounds but only 2 years 7 months. Can she use this product for our upcoming trip?

The Website states minimum age three years and minimum wight of 30 lbs.Here is the website with the specs http://ridesafertravelvest.com/convenience/fit-sizes/As far as it works when traveling my daughter stated that it worked great with her child but she still was a little concerned with day to day use and on the plane used a safety system that was rated for aircraft travel.

It's not technically in the rated category. However, we used it out of the country in taxis, where law permits lap children not to be buckled. At the time, she was 30 lb and 2 yrs 1 month old. It was a little loose in the chest, but she was secure when buckled. It was way easier than hauling around a car seat and we felt much safer than nothing.

Yes, absolutely! We still travel and use this vest for our 4 years old (~35lbs) daughter.

Personally at that age and size I would use a regular 5-point harness car-seat. Rear Facing Seats are now also recommended as well for children that young.

I think you will find that the vest is too big for her. My 3 year old is 33 pounds and 39" tall. It's a little big on him and I will not use it at this point for him but think in 6 months it would be ok for occasional use. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my 64 pound, 52" tall 7.5y. Although he's passed the weight limit (I wouldn't use it for him), it still fit. I would not attempt it on a child so young unless you would otherwise go without a car seat as I'm sure it's better than nothing. I suggest the Diono Radian, it's a great foldable car seat with high safety ratings. Get the simple one without all the extra supports, we use that for travel for our 3y old.

Eric - I have a 2 year old daughter that weighs under 25 lbs. she has been in the seat for a while. It has a pad that hold the little ones in. It is a great seat to have for a long time.

Well my one year old seems to be growing out of it already she's about 30' tall. To give her space I don't blow up the back rest anymore. This is great for traveling and for short term use. My one year old still enjoys herself in it. It holds her weight just fine still. It's about 30' long in length but since she sits up she has more leg room. If she has leg room it would be a great product to have while traveling. I have used this 6 months and up.

My daughter is 53 pounds. This is perfect for her. Anything more than 70, I don't think it would work well. Some older and larger kids have tried it but it was too small and didn't give them the same spring as for a smaller kid.

Probably not. I am about to move mine up to the highest level for my almost 8 month old and she only weighs about 15 pounds. After she outgrows that height she will not be able to use it any more. I started using it with her when she was about 6 months old, and we probably should have started her earlier because even then we were on the second of 3 heights. I love this excersaucer, but I don't think you will get enough use out of it to spend the money on it. Hope that helps!

I think it is too big for a two year old. My 4 year old uses it everyday! She is 104 cms. tall. I think it could be used up to 5 years old, easily.

No I don't think so my daughter is 7 months old and 17 pounds and 25 inches and she barely fits in there. When she slept in it recently while we were in the middle of moving and we hadn't unpacked her crib yet she was very unhappy but she moves around a lot in her sleep. There really wasn't any room in there for her to roll or turn. If your son is super active I would not recommend this. It is very handy with a newborn but I would say that 6 months would be the max age.

Depends on how your toddler is. I started using it with my son at 23 months. The decision didn't have to do with age or weight, it was just his age when we first purchased him his own seat. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for my daughter who is currently 20 months. I don't know her weight, but it's about the same as your child. I find this much easier to use than lugging a car seat through the airport. It's guaranteed to fit in the plane seat, which isn't always true for regular car seats. One warning, you have to distract the child from the plane belt buckle. At first, they want to keep undoing the seatbelt. My son got over it rather quickly (or I flipped the buckle so he couldn't lift the flap).

If she is a very tiny 7 yr.old it would be ok but if she is average hieght or tall for her age it will be too small. It is a nice carriage but a bit flimsy for a 7 yr. old not like the doll carriages of yesteryear!

I would follow the instructions and wait until she is 40lbs. That is the safest option. The 5 point harness car seats are the safest for every child. Britax makes one that can be used up to 80lbs.

I'm not sure about her from a height perspective but my 2 year old weighs 30 pounds and my 4 year old weighs 40 pounds and they ride in it together just fine. They only used the slower setting too and that was enough for them at least for this year! They love it!

Personally I wouldn't use this on a 2 year old. Yes I think it would fit, you can adjust the straps to tighten like the the car seat straps. Here's the FAA guide lines, hope it helps. http://www.faa.gov/passengers/fly_children/

Yes but not easily. My daughter is only 7months so she can't move it. I can easily though. I imagine by the time she is starting to walk it will actually strengthen her legs and torso because it would require a bit of effort. Personally I'm good with that.

Hi Joanne, I also have a 2 year old and used it on her. I just made sure that I didn't put it on her hands that she puts in her mouth. I also used it on my 3 month old's legs. :)

Our daughter used it last summer when she was around 18 months. She is two and a half now this summer and way too big. It's pretty small, but very cute.

I don't think so. A 2 year old wouldn't have the motor skills nor physical ability to manage the many attributes of his stroller. Just moving the hood forward and back would present a problem, I believe. Also, the handle, even at its lowest point, would be too tall for a 2 year old.

I am using this to carry my 28lb 3 year old girl. I used it during the travel overseas and I didn't have any problem.
