According to Graco's manual it is recommended for children 3-10 years old, from 30-100 lbs and 38"-57" tall.

I would not recommend this, the guidelines dealing with the age on different car seats have to do with development of the skeletal system as well as height and weight. I would also guess the 2 year old would be to short and the belt would cut across his/her neck especially depending on the type of car you have and where the seat belt is situated.

I don't think so. I waited until my boy was more than 3 years old before transferring him to this booster. You may want to look into front-facing seats that can be used from around a year old that has higher weight limits. It will cost a bit more but it will be worth it if you can use it for several years.

I don't think so. I would imagine the height of your 2 year old is too short. They have to fit into the weight and height that the manufacturer recommends.

I don't think so, if you look at the manufacturer's guidance on this seat the minimum limit is 30 lbs.

According to the CDC, children should be in a rear or forward facing car seat until they are 40lbs. Check out the CDC website http://www.cdc.gov/MotorVehicleSafety/Child_Passenger_Safety/CPS-Factsheet.html

A 2 year old still needs to be in a harness. Just in case you are interested, we use the Graco Nautilus for our 2 and 5 year old kids. For the 2 year old you use it with the harness, and the 5 yr old uses it as a high back booster with seatbelt. Actually we didn't remove the harness system until our oldest turned 5 because he still fit correctly (according to the manual guidelines) and comfortably and could buckle the harness system by himself.

Graco advertises the seat to be for children 30-100 pounds. However each state varies with its age and weight requirement to transition from a car seat to a belt positioning booster. I would recommend calling the city or county police to check what the laws are for your area.

I wouldn't think that would be safe. My 35lb 3 yr old is a little small for this. You need a 5 pt harness for a 2 yr old.

According to Graco's website it is recommended for children 3-10 years old, from 30-100 lbs and 38"-57" tall.As recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, children 4 feet 9 inches tall or under should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat.

My 6 year old is 37 pounds and 42 inches tall and it fits her very well. Like someone else said, it's a bit narrow for my adult sized rear-end, but I've sat on it and scooted around and it supports my 125 pounds without a problem. I'd say it would work for a 2 year old up to an average 8 year old.

Yes! My daughter has been using this since she was 3 months old and loves it. Shes now 4 months old and weighs 13lbs. You will need to put a pillow below her feet for support because her feet wont reach the floor. I also roll up a receiving blanket and wrap it around her chest to help keep her steady in the seat.

My son is 6 and weighs 40lbs and is already filling this seat. It won't be long till we will have to get a bigger one. They also have round ones that might work for his age/size. Hope this helps:)

I think so. It's supposed to be for children 2-6 I think but it is WAY too big for even our 4 year old grandson when the seat is pushed as far forward as possible.

Yes. I got it for my daughter, who is a very tall 2 year old. It works perfect for her. Her 10 year old sibling is able to sit on the chair as well, but of course is too tall, but the chair holds their weight just fine. It has had moderate use for over a year with no problems.

I got this seat for my son at 1 years old. He was 23 lbs and 32" your child is at min weight but he may not be ready to sit in this seat. In my opinion he's very young. Plus I think he still needs to face the back of the car. If you like this kind of seat I would get one with the recliner feature. So he sits a bit craddled. I would do a bit more research.

Yes, my 3 year old uses it. I can't really recommend this seat though, it's really cheap and doesn't stay that secure to the seat.

Yes, I believe it would. My 2-year old is 35 pounds so quite a bit bigger but I think a 27 lb toddler would be ok. Probably would want a step stool to get up to the toilet but once sitting on it the opening shouldn't be too big.

Hi Alice, its sturdy my two year old sits in but she only weights 26lbs but, her friends play with her and sometimes get in at 70lbs so its really sturdy but looks super light!

My opinion is it would be big for a 2 year old. My grandson is about 48 lbs and it fits him perfectly.

My 27 month old daughter who is 26.5 lb can fit in the chair with plenty of room. Unless your child is very much bigger than average, it should be able to fit until at least 3 years of age.

I found that the product statement said 250 lbs and it feels like 200 lbs. would be fine. This seat is fine for a quick sitting place but for long times may not be very comfortable.

Yes... it's a seat. Not sure about weight limits. But it was used for someone who weighted 250lbs.

My two year old fits perfectly in this chair. He is about 29lbs. I think it will work for another couple of years.

My two year old grandson weighs 25lbs and he will be able to use it for another year yet. He enjoys riding on it. I bought it for his first birthday and I wouldn't recommend it for that age, as it tips forward.

The seat is tall for a 2 year old. My 8 year old (40th percentile in height) uses it very comfortably. In fact I use it comfortably enough myself when looking at a cookbook for a few minutes. What I think really matters is what you're using the chair for. If it's pulled up to a table, it really need to match the table height well.
