I just checked and you can adjust the seat- so he would actually be fine. I love the chair, it's sturdy, feels well made and really easy to clean. Also, simple to assemble.

My guess is yes. As an adult, I could probably sit in this chair and eat comfortably with the tray in place. If the tray is snug around the legs, you can drop the seat down a notch to make more room. That's what I did with my son. As far as room from the belly to the tray, you should be fine. My only concern may be the straps. I'm not sure what kind you're looking for, but if a single strap around the waist is good enough, then this should work. I'm not sure how wide the strap will go. You could always swap them out for different straps.

I'd be cautious about this chair; the straps aren't as restraining as others, and while it can take a lot of weight, it can fall apart if the bolts aren't tight.

Hi. I think it would be a tight fit. My daughter is 19 months, 24lbs- she's fine all around, but the tray is pretty snug at her legs. Hope that helps

Just now, I went to look at my chair to see if it fits under my dining room table right now, and it does. The eating tray can even remain on the chair, but it sits above the table top. You can also make adjustments in height on this chair, but so far, my grandson hasn't needed any. But, it is nice to know that you have a lot of flexibility when using this chair as children grow and change. For me personally, I feel as though I made a very wise choice when I bought this chair. It has been a joy to use, and has caused me no problems whatsoever. However, you must remember that this is just my experience and my opinion. I can't guarantee that things will be exactly the same for you. Just now, I went to look at my chair to see if it fits under my dining room table right now, and it does.

I just checked the bottom of my chair and it was made in 07, I have the baby seat on mine and we use the tray with no problem. The tray doesn't line up with the baby seat perfectly there is a space of about an inch in the front (that tapers down on the sides) that food sometimes gets dropped down and she almost got her finger stuck in the smaller space but we stopped her before it did. Overall she is more interested in the food on the tray or the food being dropped off the tray. So yes it fits but it isn't lined up perfectly. We love our tray she hangs out eating off the tray while we make dinner or do dishes and we loose the tray for meals.

I would say it best suits kids under 5 'comfortably'. However, all 4 of my kids (ages 10 yr boy, 6 yr boy, 4 yr girl and 2 yr girl) all play with it just fine. The table stands appx 2ft tall and the chairs are appx 12" tall (from floor to where the seat is, not counting back support) and seem to be pretty sturdy for their small sz! My 10 year old boy weighs about 100 lbs and sits on it problem free and it seems to accommodate me as well! (I'm 5"9 and about 200lbs) So, depending on your preference, it seems to be an all around table! :)

It states 3+ yrs old ... i purchased this last year for my (then) 4 & 2 yr old ... i guess it depends if your lil one likes to put things in his/ her mouth. The topping pieces are about the size of a quarter. I did not worry about my 2 yr old.

I would say yes. The question I found was "Will my 2 year old want to stay in the highchair?" We stopped using his highchair around 2 because he wanted to sit in a big boy chair, so I switched to a booster that I got at target for around $20. Also, I think the maximum weight is 40lbs. I suggest a booster by 2 for those reasons. Happy shopping!

Unfortunately, I don't even have a table at this time...I've moved here not long ago. My daughter has the same chair that she had purchased long before me and she loves it as well. There are straps for the lap and if you take the tray out, a child will still be somewhat strapped in but not as secured as if the tray was in place. If the tray were out, I would think that you could put it up to the table. The chair is not overly fluffy as most of the expensive ones that I don't care for. I think that this chair is so simple and the child won't be sitting in there for hours as a lazy-boy, we love it and couldn't understand why one would spend over $100 for a highchair. Hope this helps. Unfortunately, I don't even have a table at this time...I've moved here not long ago. My daughter has the same chair that she had purchased long before me and she loves it as well.

I really just went based on whether or not my daughter fit in it anymore. She was in her chair from 3 or 4 months old until about 7 months old. She is really big though. She has remained in the 97th-100th percentile since she she was born. So even as big as she is she was still getting at least 4 months of use out of it. I could have had her in it sooner because she was controling her head and neck within a month from birth and trying to sit up at 2 months, but I was slow at figuring out it was time for an infant chair. It really was a great little chair and we got so much use out of it during that time frame she could fit in it. I don't actually know what the weight limit is; I think I looked for it before but did not find one. She just turned one so it was a while ago. I will also add that she has very chunky thighs along with being very tall and in general larger than most her age and she fit in it rather well. I would imagine that the chair would last even longer for infants that follow the normal growth curve. I was not even diabetic and she came out weighing 9lbs, 8oz.

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come. Happy Holidays, Melissa

I don't think it would be good for a 10 month old. It is a slightly lower booster than others, so your baby wouldn't be able to reach the table. Also, even buckled it a baby that age could topple out. I have my 2.5 yr old in this booster (and love it) but I have my 14 month old in a taller booster with a tray. I feel like the tray is an extra safety measure for him.

If you are asking about under the tray, then I would say there is sufficient room on the middle slot for my 22 month old grandson who is big boy at 35 lbs. The seat actually has 3 slots for you to use. On the bottom slot, it increases the room by another inch. I do take the tray off when putting him in it. Also, when pulled up to a table, with the tray off there is more than enough room for older kids even. I have no regrets buying this as it will grow with our needs.

My granddaughter is 8 months old and over 20 lbs, so large for her age. She's also very wiggly and constantly moving and I've had no problems with her in the high chair, no wobbling or tipping at all. I do, however, usually use the large tray positioned fairly close to her, which does help to restrict any extreme movement. I'm very happy with this chair, and would recommend it.

The weight is a minimum of 40 lbs. What I would personally be more concerned about is the tot being fidgety and getting OUT of the belt. I started mine when my daughter was 3.5, and we had to constantly be on top of her about sitting back, keeping her feet down, not stretching the seatbelt out. I would personally wait, and make sure that the child is old enough to sit still with out being told every ten minutes, otherwise you would be having to sit directly next to him/her. The size is great for us, we have it smooshed in between a baby seat and a booster in the back seat of a PRIUS, but it might be unstable for such a little one with nothing on one or both sides.

My daughter is very tall also, 100% for her age group. At 18 months and 35inches, she is at the next to the top shoulder strap. The manufacturer recommends turning it forward facing when they reach the top strap holder. I just asked our pediatrician at our 18 month check up what we should do when she reaches that point as I am sure it will be soon, and before she is 2 which is the law in CA. His response was to turn her around when she reaches the top strap even if it is before age 2 as she will then be big enough. That being said we bought this carseat for traveling. It is the smallest and lightest carseat we could find. She seems very comfortable in it. The bottom strap to attach it via car latches does not adjust on both sides which makes getting a perfectly tight fit impossible. It has good safety ratings but in comparison to the Britax carseat we use for every day, it really doesn't seem as safe or tighly secured in the car. Hope this helps.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

Our granddaughter at 9 months weighs 20lbs. With the back set to as straight up as possible and the tray all the way in, it almost touches her belly. She sits in perfect position with this high chair. The tray has 3 settings which allows for plenty of room for growth. Hope this helps.

best answer I can give is the product is very adjustable. My son is normal height(50-55 in) and weight(~75lbs) for a 9 year old. The product currently fits well around his arm and shoulder. I believe it will work well for him growing up. I use it myself and I'm 5' 9" 200lbs. I purchased additional ice packs/cooler to extend it's use as games. My son is a pitcher/SS. Hope this helps.
