what would be the minimum age for a child to sit in this seat?

Your child needs to be able to hold him/herself up without any assistance. They should have strong back and neck muscles and be able to stay seated. It has a harness around the waist to keep the child from slipping down - or for keeping them stable if they get a little squirmy at the table. The back of this booster seat is low, so it's a good transition from a high chair to a regular chair (without a booster).

A child should be able to sit up. I moved my son when he was 1 year so he could eat at our table instead of his tray.

i cant speak to age, but i think as long as they can sit safely without shoulder strap support they should be fine.

minimum weight is 22lbs-not sure what the height is but I would only use this seat for a toddler who can sit up and support themselves well on their own. While I love this seat for my three year old, I would not put my fifteen month old in it just yet, even though he meets the requirements for a normal front facing seat. This seat just does not offer the support that the larger front facers do but it is a Godsend for older children who need more leg room in a smaller car or truck.

It's usable up to toddler age. So I would think a child up to 30 lbs or so could safely sit in the seat, using the different stages..

Yes, the seat is good for children as low as 5lbs. She can use it until she reaches 65 lbs.

answering my own question: i called britax customer service. they confirmed that the child needs to be 2 years old in addition to weighing 25 pounds--the reason is that he needs to develop the necessary bone density to prevent severe injuries in the case of impact while in this seat.

I didn't save the packaging to know a weight limit for the small child seat. My daughter is 21 months old and it seems to work just fine for her.

I think your baby should be able to sit on his/her own before using this seat, so at least 6 months. Because of the design, I found that they were between 9+ months before the seat worked well for them.

As soon as your child can sit up independently, he/she is old enough to ride on your back.... usually 5-6 months old.

It is suitable for children 40-120 pounds AND 38"-63" tall. Typically children can be at least 4 years old, but it is highly recommended to keep them in a 5-point harness booster seat instead (like the Britax Pioneer, Frontier or Pinnacle). We usually recommend this seat for children around 6 years old.

It doesn't really have an age associated with it, I used it for my daughter when she was 8 months old. If the child can sit by themselves and no help, this chair works really well for them.

I'm guessing some where around 46 inches is the minimum. If you google bike sizes Im sure you can find a chart. Diamond Back's site also might have something. My son is about 47 inches and with the seat at its lowest, he can just touch the ground.

I bought this for my 2 year old and my 8 year sits in it more and he's 55 pounds and he fits fine in it so I'd say up to 8-9 years old up to 60 pounds? They both love it!

It depends on the length of your kid more than the weight because it is on the floor so weight isn't too much of a problem. My guess would be somewhere between 0 to 2 or 3yo.

There is no specified minimum, but I would suggest that the child be able to sit unassisted.

Hi Mary, I am a certified Child Passenger Safety technician, and Safe Kids and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend having your child in a rear facing car seat for two years at minimum, preferably to the height/weight limits of the convertible car seat. As this forward facing only car seat is intended for older children, Britax specifies that the child must be at least 2 years old and I believe 25 lbs to use this particular seat. I would recommend looking for a convertible car seat for your 13 month old. Hope that helps!

I'm not sure about the MINIMUM age/weight, my daughter was 4 when I got it. They do have a maximum weight/age recommendation, and it is: 80Lbs/up to 10 years. However, you can always check-out their website: http://rideweehoo.com/ (you can even call them at 866-297-6049) Also, if you contact them, via their website, they are very helpful with answering any questions.
