Looking for something to support my bad back while sitting on the floor playing with my 1 yr old daughter. Would this provide enough support?

I use this to sit on the floor and play with my dogs. I find it very supportive for my back.

I am pleased with the firmness of the back, it's adjustable too, and the support it gives me. I have only used it on gym bleacher seats so far and have been grateful by the end of the tournament that I had it. I would not be able to answer for you on how much support you would need but I would recommend this chair!!

I used the seat for a stadium seat at ball games, but the back is adjustable and I believe it would give you support.....

Yes, very firm and strong support. My wife uses hers for computer work sitting in bed.

I also have a bad back, which is why I bought this chair. I'm not sure how severe your situation is, but I found that the chair is durable enough for the price and has different degrees of incline which you can manually adjust the back to. All in all I think this chair is a good option for back pain.

The back support is decent if you're just sitting, not great if you're more active though. The chair takes up some space when stowed. I personally wouldn't want to tuck it into a corner of the living room because it's not compact enough but you might have more space than I do. I don't see it as a "daily use" kind of thing. Great for dragging to the park once every couple of weeks but not great for dragging around daily.

Yes fabulous back support. You place the center part behind your back and the sides buckle in front of you. Go to Twin Z website to see a video and photos

I would suggest your child be able to hold their head up on their own as the back support isn't built in such a way to hold up their head and neck. My nephew set in this when he was much younger and it was fine for him to look around at the items but they used a small pillow to add support.

Yes. I have had one daughter bouncing and the other sometimes crawls underneath. We haven't had any serious injuries but it could be possible.

I bought this support when I was pregnant. It was awful. I don't think it would work super well for nursing. You may be reclined too far back.

No Sir.....there is no support. It is more suitable for children. It does not stay open if you get up from your seat. It seems to be more of a cushion support for a support system.

No. I don't believe it will support their weight. Plus it's low to the ground, it will be awkward for them.

My child is only 1 month so not really sure, but I imagine the child can use it for it's naptime function as is until he is ready to crawl and trying to break lose out of it himself.. then he can use it as a cushion type chair to sit/lean over...

Yes! My daughter has been using this since she was 3 months old and loves it. Shes now 4 months old and weighs 13lbs. You will need to put a pillow below her feet for support because her feet wont reach the floor. I also roll up a receiving blanket and wrap it around her chest to help keep her steady in the seat.

The back support is soft not hard. It won't be able support her if she falls back.

My 81 yr old mother said it supported her back and relieved the aches. She does have a bad back and that was one of the reasons I selected it. Combine that with the fact I purchased it due to her impending knee surgery and knew she would need the leg support. It worked wonderfully. In fact she has left it in her living room and is using is as a recliner.

It will hold him, but the back is so low, I wouldn't call it comfortable. I'm 340 and it holds me just fine. Seems very sturdy.

I purchased this for my girlfriend who has back problems, she loves it. I think it would do what ya need but remember you will sink into it a bit.

The back is really supportive, can lean for comfort and not feel like it will snap, tear or break.Have not been in a situation yet where we did not have a place to hook the bottom of the chair so can't answer that.

If you are not using the gray pad, there is back support! I loved this due to the gray pad was excellent support for babies that were still wobbly at sitting up straight! They are so snug in this. And then it also jas a see through pouch to place an iPod or phone to listen to music or watch shows, movies, etc.

I think that maybe a child that big would need a more sturdy chair with more height to the back. My 15 month old grand-daughter hits her head on the back bar. This is a great inexpensive option but everyone in the family has tripped over the back legs because they stick out so far.

It has been a while since I ordered and returned this item. I ordered it for my wife because of back surgeries and "weak legs", but she didn't get to try it since it was the wrong model. Some of the reviews at the time of ordering complained about it being one speed and therefore making it difficult to pedal on hills and inclines. Depending on your child's age it could be a good way to strengthen her legs. Being a retired spec. Ed. teacher, I know this type of exercise is important, but I don't know her particular circumstances. If she has a physical therapist, they would be the best to give advice. Hope this helps.
