Is this chair stable enough for an almost-3-year-old to climb into it herself or will it tip over?

The chair is very stable. My younger one is 4 right now and is very very active, yet she never managed to tip the chair over

We bought this chair for our grandson more than 2 years ago when he was about 3 years old. It is very stable and he loved it. We have since bought another one for our second grandson. Very happy with it.

It most definitely is! My 5 year old climbs on hers every day. After a while, as a child gets bigger, you can flip the foot plate and seat so it continues to grow with the child and remains size appropriate to them. We've never had a tipping incident and we have had ours since our 5 year old was an infant. I could see how, if a child forcefully pushed them self away from a table there MAY be the possibility of them tilting the chair backwards, but I can't really imagine it. The base is really wide and our whole chair is super sturdy. Now that our little girl is bigger, we keep ours at our kitchen island as a stool-height seat / kid's counter work station and it is awesome! It most definitely is!

This chair is very stable. My 3.5 year old has been using it ever since he could walk (and climb) and it has never come close to tipping over. The foot rest provides a very stable platform for the child to place their foot and give themselves a push up to the chair. Overall, I wouldn't say it is a tipping hazard at all.

This chair is very stable, absolutely safe for kids to climb on. Overall we are happy with the purchase.

This is an extremely stable chair. Solid wood heavy. We've been using this since our second grandson was an infant 6 years ago. Now have a third grandson who loves it...age 4. Actually, they both want to sit in it. We should probably get another one sometime and adjust to each boy. It will be some time before either one can be comfortable sitting in an adult chair and be at proper table height and have their legs supported on the floor. They use booster seats in adult chairs at the dining table at home, but consider them for babies at our house. The love the old style step stools for counter height use at their farm home with Dad. The counter height adult swivel chairs don't have leg support for them. This is an extremely stable chair. Solid wood heavy. We've been using this since our second grandson was an infant 6 years ago.

I function on a senior level. I have not noted problems with the chair wanting to tip. I think it would require a significant effort to do that. The legs are fairly wide and seem stable. I guess if you were extra heavy it could happen.As with any chair one could slide off, but I don't see that is very likely here either.

We haven't had any issues with it tipping over. The bottom has rubber on it and is wider than the top so it's very sturdy.

My daughter was able to climb in and out (with a little help in the beginning) by herself. She was approximately 2 when we got it. She is 3 now & still enjoys it!

A year old child is fine in this chair. However, my 16 month old daughter is beginning to outgrow it. It may be a stretch getting a 3 yr old. If a 3 yr old does get in it, it is likely that the tray would not be able to be attached

My 18 month old godson is very active and is constantly trying to move around in it and so far it hasnt tipped over. Seems pretty sturdy. Hope this helps.

It seems to have a good base but if your child leans or pulls back hard enough I would suspect it could tip over. If your child is between 6-12 months I think it's sturdy enough. Over 12 months, the unit tipping would depend on their height, weight and coordination

No it's not very stable for an early walker. My two year old still tips it over. I wish I had gotten one more stable.

It is stable. My daughter has never tipped over while riding, she is only now able to use it as she is turning 3, she was too short at first so she just used her feet for the last year.

This chair is for a child that is already sitting up on their own and preferably walking. It is not designed for an infant, it is made to use for a toddler and ages up. A child should be able to climb in to the chair on their own in order to use. It tips over easily so do not put an infant in this chair.

My VERY active 14 month old stands on top and shakes this like crazy and has never tipped it over. I'd say it sturdy enough!

Yes, it should be. My granddaughter is 2,and tall for age. She scrambles into the chair easily, but feet still off the floor !

I would say the seat height would be fine. We have used it since our daughter was about 18 months, and still uses it at 3 years. The seats are stable when sitting in them... Has tipped a couple of times getting in or out, which is more of a concern for toes or furniture nearby. She has never tipped it over while sitting, but it is a bit back heavy.

I'm not sure if it would tip over if they aren't able to walk yet. We've gotten two of them for grandsons but they were already walking. Good luck.

My mother was 275# and I made sure it was at its' lowest height for stability. She also has a grab bar and the bathtub/shower is pretty tight proportionally - so it would be difficult for it to tip. The stool is made of very thick interlocking plastic components - unlike a plastic patio chair, so it is very sturdy.

I weigh 175 lbs. and I can turn it over and stand on it without it collapsing. It is pretty sturdy. It certainly seems like it would support the weight of a seated 3rd grader. Though I'm sure the manufacturer would not recommend it. I hope that helps.

I believe this chair was designed for toddlers through possibly first grade (judging from the size.)I work with the children in our Sunday School twice a week and have sat on these chairs myself so that I can be at the child's level while working with them. I weigh 140 pounds and it has supported me without difficulty. We have been using these chairs for about 18 months and have been very happy with how well they have worked. They do not tip over easily and hold even my weight well.
