My baby is 6 months old and he is a little chunky, for how long will the baby be comfortable in this chair? Any help from moms with chubby babies?

This high chair is very adjustable. The tray has three settings for how close it is to the baby, and the straps also have a large range of adjustment. I can't imagine a chubby baby not fitting in this.

Yes! My granddaughter too is adorably "chunky", and we found that some of the other chairs crowded her too much. Her shoulders were curved in, which I'm sure couldn't have been fun for her. I wanted her to be super comfy when she came to visit and after buying three other chairs, and returning them, this one was the answer!!!! And of course the toy in the tray is a super plus. She no longer plays with it in the chair, but still likes to make it play music as she passes it on her play table.

I am going to buy this one, I had an older version of a Fisher Price highchair and I put my kids in it until they didn't want to sit in it, about 18 months-2 years. My twins were/are skinny but my singleton was a Chuuuuunky Monkey. You are safe with this. (and for the record I will only buy Fisher Price highchairs, the crotch notch that is actually attached to the chair makes a world of difference and you don't have to use the buckles later on and they won't slide out)

I'm a grandma to chunky and skinny Minnie's! Never had a problem with this chair and fitting any size comfortably!

I would recommend this for a newborn to 5-6 mths of age. Once your baby begins to sit up, I would stop using this chair.

The seat is adjustable with 3 different positions for your baby as she/he grows so you shouldnt have a problem. We love our highchair (much more of a low chair actually as it slides perfectly under our dining table so baby can sit with us).

I started using this chair when my son was about 8 months old -- basically once he had good head control. He couldn't even sit up independently but he could sit in this chair just fine. He is now 13 months and 20 pounds and we still LOVE this chair! We plan to use it through the recommended weight of 37 pounds, which is about what our almost 5yo son weighs! I will add that we leave it attached to our counter and do not travel with it to restaurants, etc., as it is a bit of a pain, especially considering you'll never really know if it will fit on the different styles of tables when dining out. Overall it's a WONDERFUL chair and we love how little space it takes up while allowing our son to dine at the table WITH the family! Hope that helps! :)

I love this seat. Not necessarily sitting up but does need head control. It will hold baby. My daughter is 6 months old and loves this chair. Plus you can take it anywhere.

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

My youngest was 12 months. He was over 20 lbs and had been walking (more like running!) for a while. He did great but within a few weeks was able to get out on his own WHILE I was biking (he is a Houdini). Scary! I would say that, as long as your baby sits up very well on their own and isn't a squirmer, they should be fine.

We only used it once, and it was ok for an 11 month old. It is wider at the base than the top of the chair, that gives stability. Also, the baby is snugged right into that seat, which doesn't allow for much movement. Consider how your own weight feels in one of these folding chairs, although I realize that the baby chair is a bit higher off the ground. I am a safety nut with kids(retired teacher) and this seems like a safe chair.

This chair is quite sturdy. My baby is a little over a year and also likes to "dance", and she is fine in it. I have had friends with kids as old as 2 1/2 use it and was fine for them too. It is a great chair - I highly recommend it!

I bought the chair for my grandson and he's on the heavy side wt was 145 and chunky 9 yr old , and the chair is to small for him.I believe you might be to tall and your legs maybe uncomfortable. The chair is very narrow,I hope this is helpful!

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

Hello hope all is well. I bought this for my then 15 month old boy. Now is 24 month old and still fit nicely. Only one thing with the front tray is to not use lot of clothing that can squish the legs. If is a big boy I suggest to not put the tray but to snack. Its not heavy and to fold it needs practice but in general it worth the price. Two position for child to sleep and canopy that doesnt bother him at all.

My husband weighs over 200 pounds and this chair works just fine for him and our chunky baby!

Hi I have a 16 month old who weighs about 24 pounds who likes to push the chair up to objects and step up on the back to climb and the foam barely gives on her. Also the foam is fairly firm on the part you sit/lay on but is still comfortable feeling I have even used it as a pillow a few times. The arms give some when you lean on the side but have always bounced back and according to the tag on the bottom the width measurement of the seat from the inside of the arms is 16 inches. Not sure if it will hold up 7 years but we have had ours about 6 months and it still has the shape it did when we first got it. Hope that helps.

I doubt this would be comfortable for twins. I would not have wanted to put a 6 month old in the rumble seat. It has very little support and no ability to recline. It is not ideal for babies/toddlers who like to nap in the stroller. We purchased a city mini gt double and are happy with it.

I got this for both my 4 y/o and my baby who is now 11 months. We've used them a few months and love them. I don't feel it's rough or uncomfortable for either of them. We had a britax convertible... that was softer but he got hot in it a lot. And our infant seat was a chicco which was comparable to this graco. Hope this helps!
