Has anyone given it to a 1 year old? Is there anything they can injure themselves with? If so what? Can it be safely removed or modified?

I gave this to my grandchdren for Christmas. My granddaughter was 13 months old... I sure didn't see anything that could hurt a young child. There are no sharp edges or loose parts a child would put in their mouth. It doesn't tip easily... It has been a good addition in the play area for my young grandkids.

Our daughter was only 18 months old when we gave it to her. I haven't found anything that would harm a one year old. We've had it for two months now, and no problems with her being too small or anything being dangerous.

I can't see why a one year old couldn't have this. I doubt they would do much with it at that age anyways. Also, I could not say if a child would or would not injure themselves on it. Anyone at any age could possibly injure themselves on an object within the environment they live within. A one year old should be under a parent's immediate supervision at all times to prevent accidents anyways. Just give it to the child. At minimum, one could keep it in the box until their child is 2 or up if so desired.

Why would this be around your toddler? Treat any kind of defensive item as if it were a firearm. Never point it at something you don't intend to destroy, and never lose possession of it.

You should be cautious with any kind of jewelry worn on any child under 5. I haven't had any problems yet with my son. He wears his all day long, he's even taken naps with it on. I've heard that you can also wrap these around the ankle for the same effect(and no worrying about suffocation)! I hope this helps!

Honestly, we have this item attached to our crib that has been converted to a toddler day bed, but it's definitely a safety hazard if your are the overly cautious sort. It isn't installed properly (we had to use zip ties!) and It's almost but not quite as long as the crib itself- which means there's the slightest possibility their head/neck could get stuck. We have it on our 2.5 y/o's convertible crib but it's definitely not a great fit.

I think you could def use it on a 1 year old based on their size and that it reclines however if you still have the child rear facing then I don't think you can you the click tight technology. If they are front facing then absolutely. My son is 3 1/2 and only 30 pounds lol

I actually used it (supervised at first, of course) when my son was 10 months old. He started to understand how it worked overtime. He is 14 months now and does great on his own. I think the warning should be thought of as a suggestion in this case. Just make sure to look for small parts, but in this box the smallest part was about the size of a bouncy ball , so it wasn't too bad.

I have a three year old. We got it when he was 2.5. A younger child could probably use some pieces of it. The zipper and velcro are easiest and I suspect even many 1 year olds could use them. There are still a few things my son cannot do (like tying shoes), but that's why we got it, to grow with him. I'd guess 1.5-4 would be a great age for this toy.

No there is nothing for it to click onto, and it wouldn't be safe. Great for when they are older though.

It worked fine for us and we travel a lot. we've used it with our son between the ages of 1.5 and 3 and it was great! A little cumbersome with detaching and reattaching but worth it. Good luck!

I've not had any problems. It has a slot to remove it is positioned in a way that to get it off you must lift straight up when the toddler seat is in the down position.

Might not be too safe for a child that just turned one year old but will definitely grow into it quick.

I stopped using it after my baby started walking because she hated being held in place at that point...she'd rather be exploring. I don't see why it'd be unsafe until they could pull themselves up and try to get out.

I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn. I would be worried about their neck getting in a position where they can't breathe. I got it when my son was 4 months old and he immediately came off of it and put it over his face (to chew on). I ended up attaching it to the sheets/mattress pad with safety pins. In a month and a half he figured out how to get his arm under it, which made the some of the pins come out. Glad I have a monitor because he could have poked himself. Anyway I quit using it. Not really worth it for a month and a half use plus I didn't see any improvement in his flat head. I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn.

Sorry..misread the question. So he is 6 mo now and still uses it. The problem I can see happening is that pretty soon he will be able to grab it and then it will be a safety issue. So I guess it would depend on how active your little one is.

the way it works is icing and vibrating - both distract the brain from painful stimuli - it would be safe for 6 month old - I wish I got it earlier for my kids (started using at age 5)

I wouldn't get this for a child that young. I bought it for my 3.5 year old grandson who weighs almost 40 pounds. Definitely not secure enough for a one year old.

We removed ours when my grandson turned 14 months old. Probably left it in there longer than necessary but just kept it for comfort.
