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.

Possibly, but the greatest support is on the seat bottom which has bungee cords underneath for extra support. The back rest is just canvas with no extra support.

I haven't sat on it. I keep my grandsons' toys in it. I'm not sure if it would be strong enough to be sat on. Someone that doesn't weight much would do ok, but anyone that is heavy, I wouldn't suggest it.

It does not have much back support. It is fine for my kids to watch TV on and it is REALLY good to sleep on. It is portable-fits in the back of my SUV. easy to clean too.

I don't feels it supports my child enough I want to stick bean bags or weights around the outside to stable it as my 11 month old can drag it and I worry about it collapsing

I'm not sure that it would provide any support in that situation because the cushion is pretty soft itself and is flexible from side to side.

Very comfortable. My kids love them, I make sure to fluff it up before i sit on it, it great especially if you have a foot rest. It actually looks just the the picture. So to answer the question, it would feel good on a bad back but I'd recommend a foot rest for a taller adult.

I would say no. That piece on the back is not flimsy but definitely not strong or big enough for another child

I doubt it. My year old twins sat indignantly inside together during a several hour period of judgment lapse on my part. They're pretty sturdy babies, too-- 25 pounds/piece. The design is wide at the bottom and narrows at the top, so I think that helps with the balance.

I bought this for my 2 year old son to lounge in, and this weekend my 13 year old niece and 11 year old nephew fought over who got to use it. So yes, any kid can use it, and once in a while I'll lounge in it if I don't feel like sitting on the floor when playing with my son!

I broke my back in the mid 90s and I would say this recliner would only be good enough if you use it in the far back position. Not one I would recommend with a bad back.

Not a lot of support for the lower back. On another issue, the hydraulic lift has failed within a month. If you are over 200 lbs look at a different chair.

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.

I have not tried this personally. I mailed this to my daughter who has a new baby and is breast feeding. I was hoping this would give her back support at night.

It is comfortably soft, and the support for a head and neck would work, but have in mind that you can't recline just the backrest- the whole seat reclines, so you can't lay it flat, and that might be an issue for a newborn. We got it for our 4 month old once he started to show desire to sit.

The bench is solid and heavy enough for normal sitting. I would not suggest using it if you expect kids to play/jump etc. on it.
