is it hard for children to sit on?

My daughter is 13 months old, and she still doesn't have the coordination to hold the handles and sit up on it by herself. I expect that it will be several months before she can sit up on it and rock by herself, but she also isn't walking yet. If a child can pull his/herself up and walk then I would expect that sitting up on this rocking horse should be no problem.

The seat is not hard to sit on and it's not that high off the floor where you have too worry about the child falling. Also my husband added a small walnut stop at the back of the seat, so you can only go back so far.

Not at all. My son is an average sized 2 year old and he is fine. I was afraid that he might get his foot stuck under the rocking part of the rocking horse, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. I wish it could hold more weight so I can sit on it. We have it on an oriental rug so we just need to give him some room when he rocks on it because he likes to rock it pretty vigorously so it slides a little, but not dangerously - he holds onto the handles.

Not at all. They might need a little help getting in the chairs, but my Grandson was doing it on his own by 19 mos. with no problem. We got it for him for his 1st birthday. Very sturdy! It was even better than I expected.

I would say yes. Unless your children are close in age and your older one is still fairly small, there will not be enough room for them on the bench without leaning forward a little bit because of the recline from the front seat. It didn't bother my 2-year-old at all though. As mentioned by someone else, the bench slides back and forth so you can slide it as far away as possible from the front seat.

NO!! My 4 and 6 year old children sit on these chairs at our counter. The wood cross pieces have split from their weight. Mind you, my children are no more than 60 lbs. I cannot get the company to respond to me about replacing the cross pieces. The buttons on our loosened after very little use. I do not recommend these chairs at all!

No I'm afraid not. They would not be comfortable. My 2.5 grand daughter only sits at the ends.

As long as the children aren't too large, yes. In fact, I can sit side by side with my 7 year old granddaughter-- it's a squeeze, but we fit on the bench (my legs have to be straight because otherwise my knees would hit the underside of the table). Hope this helps you!

My young children will sit on it, but I wouldn't recommend it for an adult.

It doesn't really provide any support for sitting. You can use a blanket/pillow to prop your daughter upright in the seat, as long as she has good head/neck control. I didn't really start using this with my daughter until she was closer to 5 months.

I would say no more than 2 small (toddler age) kids sitting at once, much older than that can't stand up unless in the middle of the tent.

For a small person (under 60lbs) it wouldn't be rock hard. And the way the seat is designed to slant rather than go straight back, makes for a more laid back comfortable position. My 4 year old, 50 lbs, doesn't complain and trust me he is very outspoken!

It is very sturdy. The seat is set low to the ground for my two year old granddaughter, even though she's short for her age, so I'd say it is sized more for the lower end of the age range.

I think so, my daughter is one year old and she sits pretty good but if you want something to use for a longer time, buy a different one.

Yes, as per other answers. But it's not easy for many kids. No knee joints so legs tend to stick straight out. My grand kids don't mind.

I think 30-100 my 6 year old can easy sit and she is 40 lbs but I don't know about a 10 year old or a 100 lbs it would be to hard to push

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.

Absolutely. I have only one child and she sits in the middle.. and she can still get buckled in good. It's actually perfect for one child as she has more room.

Hello, the child will only be able to sit in it. There is no foot rest, so the child cannot push up to stand.
